humusic1-6, Exercise 2: From the phonograph to the dance house

Model answer (check the details):

1. Early 1900s: Bartok and Kodaly record village singers and players on phonograph cylinders and publish collections (Chapter 4).
2. Mid-twentieth century: the recordings, films and notations are held in archives and studied by folk-music researchers, but village traditions are fading as the countryside changes.
3. 1950s to 1960s: researchers continue to record older musicians and dancers, including in Transylvania, adding film of dances (check).
4. Late 1960s to 1972: young musicians and dancers in Budapest learn from the archives and from visits to villages, and bring older musicians to the city.
5. 1972: the first dance houses, where the material is taught and danced in a social setting.
6. After 1972: bands such as Muzsikas, festivals and later institutions such as the House of Traditions keep the movement going.

The line shows how scholarly collecting became living practice.
