Additional info/contents	Frigyes Hidas was the most prolific Hungarian wind band composer, and his works are the most frequently performed. His hugely popular folk song suites are the best examples of Hidas’ mature style. Only a few composers are able to adequately deal with the adaptation of folk songs. Bartók himself said of the challenges that this genre presented to the 20th century composer: “Dealing with folk melodies is one of the most difficult tasks. I dare say it is as difficult, if not more difficult, than writing a major original work.” This much is certain: inspiration is just as important for arranging folk songs as it is for writing any other work. Performing it requires brilliant technique and the ability to shape the music freely. picc., 4 fl. 1, 4 fl. 2, ob. 1, ob. 2, c.ing., cl., 4 cl. 1, 4 cl. 2, 4 cl. 3, 2 cl.b., 2 sax.a. 1, 2 sax.a. 2, sax.t., 2 sax.bar., fg. 1, fg. 2 - cor. 1, cor. 2, cor. 3, cor. 4, 3 crnt. 1, 3 crnt. 2 tr. 1, tr. 2, tr. 3, 2 trb. 1, 2 trb. 2, 2 trb. 3,
