A Musical Guide to Hungary [antikvár]

Preface This present volume in the Corvina series of concise travel guides has been written for tourists interested in the musical scene of the regions of Hungary (and for music-loving would-be tourists planning a trip to Hungary). It may alsó come in handy for those who wish to gain a relatively complete overview of Hungárián music culture- its history and cultural institutions, the principles and structure of musical education in Hungary, and, of course, the major trends, endeavours and groupings in contemporary composition. We hope this brief guide will stimulate interest in genuine Hungárián musical values and will help in the musical orientation of both those with an inclination for traditional values and those intrigued by contemporary musical endeavours or controversial issues.
