  • @sandorka100, not always part of the Kibgdom of Hungary, it was part of the Austru-Hungarian Empire, then a semi-independent state (principality) under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire. Anyway, Romanians have always been the majority there even if they were never treated equally to Magyars, Sachens or Székely.

    Well, to hell with kings, politicians, let's live in peace there and dance traditional dances of all the ethnic groups. Peace!

  • Niw007 you can keep on dreaming..I do not deny Bela's work in this composition...but this was originated in transylvania long before Bella was Born..he just Brought it up and gave it to the masses. And by the way Bela....is mixed romanian/slovakian/hungarian..­..so you might say he is an European composer.
