On the occasion of the Dance House Day celebrations, musician (violinist), musicologist, music teacher Virágvölgyi Márta was presented with an award in recognition of her long standing dedication and work. She has been an active and influential musician and violin teacher in the dance house movement from the moment it began. Printed here is part one of Márta’s essay on keeping bowed string folk music alive. She starts the article with a short summary of her work over the years, then outlines specifics of violin technique by ethnographic region and/or village (i.e. Gyimes, Bonchida, Szatmár, and so on).
