It is common knowledge that Kodály was not fond of exclusively male ensembles, being rather uninterested by male voice choirs and indeed his opinion was that these choral societies should be converted into mixed choirs. However, after travelling extensively in the country – thus gaining insight into the operation of these groups – he began to contribute to the genre’s repertoire. The composer began to view the case differently, as he thought that amateur male choirs – of which there were still many in the 1930s – should rather sing compositions of a higher value, as opposed to pieces of the Liedertafel-style. At the same time, the Férfikarok collection contains many pieces that are not suitable for amateur ensembles due to their challenging nature in terms of intonation and tone production. In this paper – in addition to presenting the volume – I intend to introduce a certain way of categorization based on the compositions’ level of difficulty, through an analytical approach, which may be of help to those who work with such ensembles that are rare, but worthy of appreciation.

Other questions include which study trips could have influenced the composition of his piano pieces, in which period were the piano pieces written, and who were the performers of the first performances. The research method is documentary analysis. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that Kodály had no formal piano teacher. He acquired his knowledge through lessons from his sister. He was driven by curiosity to become acquainted with all of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. He later used the instrument in his composing. We also found examples of him accompanying his songs in concerts. The piano pieces were influenced by his study trip to France. The piano pieces were composed in 3 periods.

The compositional techniques that we associate with Bartók's name can also be found in Kodály's art. In this study, I scrutinize Zoltán Kodály's less well-known play, the 7th Epigram. Kodaly's suggestion on the preface sounds like this: The vocal part can be performed on any string or wind instrument, possibly in the upper or lower octave. It works best for those who use it as reading practice by accompanying their singing. As a jazz musician, compositional music has always influenced me, and I was curious to compare the harmonic relationships between the two styles. It affected me as a revelation when I discovered in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach those seventh chords or alterations that can also be found in the language of jazz.

He also considered it important to present scientifically supported results, which is why research on the transfer effect marked by the name of Klára Kokas was started in Hungary. While previously the phenomenon could only be described based on cross-sectional or longitudinal surveys, thanks to technological development we could observe the active areas of the brain during various activities, during which we can interpret the causes of the transfer effects affecting different areas supported by MRI images .
