c) Mixed genre songs (193 songs) 1. Ancient-type, folk-song-like stratum 2. Transit stratum 3. Most composed-music stratum C. Russian songs learned in war prison (3 songs) D. Only partly known songs (50 songs) For among the verse-composition Hungarian songs 120 are pure folk-songs, 249 of transitory charakter and 187 the composed songs. Note-material and various indexes are linked to the songs. In the musical index I examine the songs of prose-composition on basis of four; the verse-construction songs on basis on seven viewpoints. Following this I make known the summaries of the song-construction, the number of syllables, the division of syllables, the cadence, the end sound and the verse. The volume is supplemented and made clear to all by a list of the idioms of the region and of the artificial words, several photos and a list showing the first line of every lyric in the alphabetic order. The question might arise wherefrom I took the idea to elaborate this subject. In his summing-up study „The Hungarian folk music" Zoltán Kodály mentions emphatically the necessity of monographies. He encouraged his pupils also to make „deeP-digging" research work, monographic works made from various viewpoints. In the '940's Lajos Vargyas, Pál Járdányi, in the '950's István Halmos made the monographies of a North-Hungarian, Middle-Transylvanian, respectively Szatmár county Hungarian village, the complete revelation of their music-life and song treasure. Kodály suggested to the youngest group of his students the monographies of persons, families, regions and melodies, examinations of changes in time, and the research of the interrelationship of the composers of popular composed-songs with the folk-music. And one of his one-time pupils, Imre Olsvay, encouraged me to the monography of a person, as in county Zala, moreover in the entire region of Transdanubia no work of this character had been made, yet, — respectively as regards monographies of individual persons up to now only the examination of the song-treasure of a Moldavian Hungarian speaking woman and of a shepherd in the county Borsod have been made. The monography about János Szili has been made after observations and research-work of 25 years. He died, at the age of 84, when only questions emerging as regards the compilations had been left to which, however, also the family, the brother could give the answers.
