Question on a Source.

Plagiarism
[edit]Significant chunks of this article are copied directly from this source[1] without proper attribution. As an example, the following two paragraphs are nearly verbatim:
In 1908, he and Kodály traveled into the countryside to collect and research old Magyar folk melodies. Their growing interest in folk music coincided with a contemporary social interest in traditional national culture. Magyar folk music had previously been categorised as Gypsy music. The classic example is Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano, which he based on popular art songs performed by Romani bands of the time. In contrast, Bartók and Kodály discovered that the old Magyar folk melodies were based on pentatonic scales, similar to those in Asian folk traditions, such as those of Central Asia, Anatolia and Siberia.[citation needed] Bartók and Kodály set about incorporating elements of such Magyar peasant music into their compositions. They both frequently quoted folk song melodies verbatim and wrote pieces derived entirely from authentic songs. An example is his two volumes entitled For Children for solo piano, containing 80 folk tunes to which he wrote accompaniment. Bartók's style in his art music compositions was a synthesis of folk music, classicism, and modernism. His melodic and harmonic sense was influenced by the folk music of Hungary, Romania, and other nations. He was especially fond of the asymmetrical dance rhythms and pungent harmonies found in Bulgarian music. Most of his early compositions offer a blend of nationalist and late Romanticism elements.

Opus numbering his own works?
[edit]Need a reference to this. Not seeing in manuscripts or in musicology works. If no citation pops up, I will delete the line. Currently tagged as citation needed. Screen317 (talk) 07:10, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
This source by Vera Lampert should at least be included in sources. 2600:4040:52C1:6F00:841:1A0E:4AF9:50FF (talk) 20:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
