Hungary has made many contributions to the fields of folk, popular and classical music.

Hungarian folk music is a prominent part of the national identity and continues to play a major part in Hungarian music.

It is also strong in the Szabolcs-Szatmár area and in the southwest part of Transdanubia, near the border with Croatia.

The Busójárás carnival in Mohács is a major Hungarian folk music event.

Hungarian classical music has long been an "experiment, made from Hungarian antedecents and on Hungarian soil, to create a conscious musical culture musical world of the folk song".

Although the Hungarian upper class has long had cultural with the rest of Europe, leading to an influx of European musical ideas, the rural peasants maintained their own traditions such that by the end of the 19th century Hungarian composers could draw on rural peasant music to (re)create a Hungarian classical style.

For example, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, two of Hungary's most famous composers, are known for using folk themes in their music.

Bartók collected folk songs from across Eastern Europe, including Romania and Slovakia, whilst Kodály was more interested in creating a distinctively Hungarian musical style.
