'In Le Sacre du Printemps Stravinsky stripped folk themes to their most basic melodic outlines, and often contorted them beyond recognition with added notes, and other techniques including inversion and diminution.'
Your post reminded me of the folk connection melonkali, but then i remembered it was Bela Bartok who was the folk music scholar; i love trad. arrangements from that part of the world & eastern europe, but it's for another thread perhaps
