humusic1-1, Exercise 1: What you already believe

Model answer (one possible set; check each):

1. Liszt: composed the Hungarian Rhapsodies. Documented as a fact about his works. Where the tunes came from, and how Hungarian they are, is debated (see Chapter 3).
2. Bartók: collected folk songs and used them in his music. Documented in his writings and recordings, though how he used them varies by work.
3. Kodály: created a method of music education. Documented as a widely used approach, although how much of it Kodály himself designed is debated (see Chapter 4).
4. Omega: a Hungarian rock band whose song "Gyöngyhajú lány" was a hit well beyond Hungary. Claimed in popular accounts; check the reach and the dates (see Chapter 7).
5. Muzsikás: a folk group of the dance-house revival. Documented as a leading group; their influence abroad is claimed and worth checking (see Chapter 6).

The point is to see which beliefs rest on records and which on repetition.
