To many composers folk-tunes and traditional dance-music are a source of inspiration. With respect to this Haydn and Martin searched for material abroad, in Hungary and Ireland. Turina and Stuchevsky, on the other hand, went to look for their own roots,
the Spanish flamenco and Jewish klezmer music. Four totally different works from different periods, but with one common factor: whether the makers strut with borrowed foreign plumes or with those of their compatriots, they cannot belie their own specific nature.. And that’s where art begins and imitation ends.
