biziclop2: What you said at the beginning isn't true,
Slovak nation developed later, but anyway the
final words are true. That's why we should
have never become two countries. Both the land
and the people belong together, more than
anything else in the region.
RenkaFr: Well...North Hungary was Slovak land occupied by
Hungarians. Slovaks lived there a hundreds years
before Hungarians arrived. Imagine, that Slovaks
attack Hungary, conquer, humiliate Hungarian
nation and then call your land South Slovakia.
Open your eyes, Czechs never attacked and
occupied Hungary.Read the history. I don't know,
why I am wasting my time by talking to
nationalist. Look at your DNA. We have more in
common, than you ever think. I respect your
nation. You respect mine.
RenkaFr: No more talk to mean!
biziclop2: Not my rude language but your flood is a shame.
At least it was right, but it's a fake flood
which is just pathetic.
biziclop2: She was born in 1857 so was more than 80 years
old when Slovakia became a country. Even when
Czechs occupied her homeland, North-Hungary,
and formed Czechoslovakia, she was already
more than 60 years old. So saying that she grew
up in Slovakia is a very little bit (just a very
little bit) nonsense. But I'm quite familiar
with this classic Slovak approach: everything
and everybody was Slovak.
RenkaFr: By the way, Biziclop, your rude language is a
shame.
RenkaFr: Ok, mistake: she grew up in Slovakia, but her
mother tang was German, and she returned to live
there with her young son and daughter, after
death of her hungarian husband. She settled in
Ukraine and then Bratislava, now Slovak capital.
Bela was exposed to multicultural influence,
which formed him into this exceptional artist.I
assumed, that she was Slovakian, because she
apparently grew up there.
biziclop2: She was Saxon-Hungarian, you idiot. Stop
flooding these great videos with your
bullshit.
dejnaM: not Slovakian...but SLOVAK is regular in
English !! try dictionary
RenkaFr: Bela Bartok's mother was Slovakian, so he is
a minimum half Slovakian, no doubts that even
more inside his heart.
Babejuda: Wonderful performance of a wonderful simple
modern piece (and Bartok is amazingly still
modern and antique at the same time!). Thanks
for uploading.
