That his research identified the distinct expression and independent origins of Romanian folk music in general and of its persistence in Transylvania is the significance of the work on Romanian musical expressions by Béla Viktor János Bartók [March 25, 1881-September 9, 1945]. The Hungarian composer was born in the town of Nagyszentmiklos, in what was Hungarian controlled Transylvania. As a Hungarian musician living in an area of mixed cultures, he researched both Hungarian and Romanian folk traditions. His work on Romanian musical expressions in folk songs and dances was left unfinished with wartime interruptions. But what he did do was enough to show that Hungarian controlled Transylvania and Hungarian free Romania were united in a common cultural heritage.
