Kovács Tivadar – fiddler from the village of Méhkerék. Halmos Béla remembers the first time he met and subsequent visits to visit and learn from this excellent fiddler (and teacher) in the Romanian village of Méhkerék in Eastern Hungary. This story underscores the difference between reading written music as a (classically) trained violin player and going to the source (in this case Kovács in Méhkerék) for first-hand experience in what traditional music is about and how it is really played. By K. Tóth László.
