humusic1-10, Exercise 2: Three myths

Model answer (one possible choice; check each):

1. "Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies are Hungarian folk music." They draw on the urban Roma-band style and published tunes that were then taken to be Hungarian, not on the peasant song that Bartok and Kodaly later recorded.
2. "Bartok simply copied folk tunes." He did arrange some tunes directly, but in his major works he absorbed the rhythm, modes and shapes of folk music into a modern style.
3. "The dance house is a perfect copy of village life." It is a revival by city people in a new setting, with selected repertoire, so it preserves a tradition and changes it.

Other valid choices include "Communism killed Hungarian popular music" (control was real but uneven) or "World music shows a tradition unchanged" (the label simplifies, and traditions have always changed).
