“Why do we choose to set one particular poem to music out of the many millions that exist? Why not another? How can a poem we barely noticed yesterday become, by today, the one with the most important message – one that immediately cries out for a melody? Why do we choose a Hungarian text, or why do we not? Is it the composer who ‘speaks’ through the song, or the poet who lays their soul bare? There are countless questions, each with countless possible answers – precisely as many as there are songs being written. After all, the song is one of the most revealing and personal of all genres. It contains a piece of its creators’ souls – both the poet’s and the composer’s. Listen with this in mind!” /Péter Tóth/
