After but a few weeks, we received a letter from our adresse informing us of Béla Bartók's interest in the subject. We did so without delay, and did not neglect to send copies to the author of the monograph mentioned. We decided to publish, each of us individually, a booklet, with the end in view of correcting the error and showing the ties that bound Anatolia on the one hand with Asia and on the other with Hungary, Ireland, etc.
Our train of thought had been started by a monograph, in Hungarian, containing a map of folklore areas in which the Anatolian peninsula had been indicated as belonging to the Arabo-Persian region.
One day in May of 1936 I talked with my friend, the Turkish musicologist Mahmut Ragip Gazimihal, about the means of setting foth the true character of the folk music of Anatolia, hitherto unknown to folklorist.
