Music Hungary Klezmet In terms of modal harmony, Hungary lies on the periphery of our field of enquiry. Hungarian urban music has tended to be more Western European in style and orientation than the other musics discussedabove. Nevertheless,certain Hungarian Benres,and especially those associated with gypsy musicians, do illustrate to some degree the aforementioned "fight for supremacy between the Easternand Western musical cultures," although the latter had clearly won the battle by the early nineteenth century. The Ottomans ruled much of Hungary from 1526 until being ousted by the Austrians in 1718.During this period Hungarian gypsy musicians performed in Ottoman courts, and many of them returned to their homeland, bringing their Turkish-informed musics with them. Hence it Hsffiqr;.fl-5ii.$Tlffi.*f#fi{1}ffi is not surprising that the Hijaz-type scaleis found in seventeenth-century *ffT$m ilffi Hungarian folksongs (Sarosi 7977: 39, 58, 44). Kodaly (7971:6) notes that the raised-fourth scalewas also popularized by gypsies, who dominated professional music performance from the late eighteenth century on. Under Vienneseinfluence, European harmony came to dominate most Hungarian urban music such that the Hijaz and raised-fourth scales persistedonly in gypsy music, rather than in genuine Hungarian folksong per se (Kodaly 7977:73-4). Gypsy performers were noted for "exoticizing" *p**t+*fi**ff*ffi folksongs and popular tunes with augmented seconds,pedal drones, and one quartel
