NOTES

(1)   At the time, the boyars with some musical education would compose folk pieces, especially dance tunes, which they themselves played or had played: ?Several young ladies and gentlemen of different classes of the society find a noble entertainment in composing horas and other national songs, which they have the fiddlers perform?, writes Nicolae Filimon in 1864 (cf. Breazul, 1941, p. 239). Also see Alexandru, 1980, p. 271.

(2)   The truth is that the ?axiom? of the necessarily modal harmonization of the folk song is not simply a bizarre idea; among other things, it expresses ? in a quite oblique way ? the contempt that the scholarly musicians of the first half of the 20^th century felt towards the Gypsy ?spoilers? of Romanian folklore and of the national specificity.

(3)   The stock, unofficially and rather improperly called ?Brăiloiu?, was established around 1928-1943 and has, for most of its part, been built by Constantin Brăiloiu, with the help of numerous assistants, among whom Tiberiu Alexandru, Harry Brauner and Emilia Comişel.

(4)   This is the time when the first recordings on wax cylinders were made by Bela Bartok in Transylvania ? these are the recordings the author eventually used for neat, detailed transcriptions, the first of the kind really to be trusted.
