The musical material for these pieces was taken from the 17th century Kulcsar Melodiarium (Sarospatak, 1770), Novak Melodiarium (Sarospatak) and Patak Melodiarium (1798). Both the Latin and the Hungarian versions of these short character pieces were set to music. The cycle provides a good picture of the lives of the maturing students.The tunes reflect the many bonds that tied 18th century Hungarian music to the European musical culture of the time, while they also show signs of typical Hungarian character.
