Járdányi Pál (Budapest: 1920–1966) – a whole year is not enough to honour the life work of this Erkel and Kossuth award winning composer, music educator, ethnographer and folk music researcher. He studied under the best: Rajeczky, Zathureczky, Kodály, Kósa, Bárdos, Lajtha. He is known for his folk music collection and monographic work on Transylvanian village of Kide. He once wrote: „...Bartók and Kodály didn’t learn folk song from books, written music, the radio or gramophone; they found folk song in its own environment sung by people in the village, on farms and in the fields...".
