Opeth - Atonement

Not surprisingly, the reaction to List's work was immediate. On August 11, Magyar Sajtó (The Hungarian Press) wrote: “Mr. Liszt invented that the music of gypsies, which is everywhere imitated, is original in Hungary. Already want to sue us and our music? In any case, the point is to have experts speak out about it. We hope that this will happen ... If Mr. Artist, at the time of the highest enthusiasm girded by our older brothers, a Hungarian saber, would have deigned to spend more time in his homeland and during his entertainment here and there, instead of the poisoned air of the salons, he considered the atmosphere dangerous for his lungs slightly lower than the underlying layers, he could get acquainted with the secret birth of a Hungarian folk song, which represents the essence of real Hungarian music.If Mr. List himself drew his knowledge from a single reliable source, and not from second and third hands, he would have saved himself from this ridiculous statement, and us from a bitter sense of indignation. ”
