Reviews
"This book is a major contribution to the growing English-language literature on Hungarian music-history . . . Dalos, with her excellent command of English and expansive knowledge of Kodaly's role in Hungarian music-history, is an ideal scholar to re-introduce Kodaly to the English-speaking world as one of the great classical composers and minds of the twentieth century."
* Hungarian Cultural Studies *"The great merit of Dalos's extremely informative and readable book is to bring Kodaly out of his shadowy existence as 'Bartok's little-known, almost mysterious companion'... Since the book not only represents an enormous scholarly gain but is also eminently suitable for pedagogical purposes, it is certain to be widely received." * Studia Musicologica *
"This book will be of particular interest to musicologists and those interested in aspects of Kodaly's life that are not yet as celebrated internationally, but which remained a major impetus for his commitment to a better music education in Hungary." * Journal of the History of Music Education *
