A little group musicians I run around with has been hired to play a golden wedding anniversary. It should be a very nice event. Yesterday, the bride called and requested that we play the melody to a hungarian folk dance that was played at her wedding reception. She said it is called "Azaszep Azaszep". Naturally, I would love to honor her request. Searches on the internet for sheet music (or scores) have been fruitless. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks, very much, to both of you! I am very impressed and pleased. My friend Hank Lehrer suggested I post this dillema - and I am glad I did! I am sure my client bride will be very surprised and happy to hear her song from so long ago.

To have even more fun:
Staying on his main page, scan down to "Hungary" or maybe "Klezmer". Click. You can't open the abc files, probably, but you can copy and paste any tune title into his "Find" box on his abc tune finder page, cutting off the dot abc part. Then you can see the tune.
Selecting the "txt" versions will usually give you the clearest copies. To do that, you need to copy and paste the text of those files once you've opened them onto another page here:
http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html
That will give you the clearest copy.
You can now give your client bride a much bigger Hungarian wedding -- assuming you can play and they can dance the tunes!

The PDFs are very nicely done.

Thanks for the suggestions, Steve. Although applying Concertina worked in acquiring abc files. The pdf file came out much nicer. Thanks again for the great resource! I am sure other forum participants will benefit.
