about

This melody is adapted from a Transylvanian melody I first heard in archival recordings of folk musicians from Bonțida (Bonchida), a town 18 miles from northeast of Cluj. Bonchidai-style playing is influenced by baroque music requested by royals at the Bánffy court, the castle of which still stands in the town. Sadly, there are no living folk musicians from the lineages in Bonchida left, but the style lives on and is popular in the táncház scene.
