"I'm not declining to direct the student to the citation way of using ready examples of folk creative at all, though this well known method in the world is also possible. Conservative tendency in the attitude to the folk music brings to its conservation, converts it to something constant and frozen, detains its progress and development, transforms to museum exhibit." "It's accepted to say that folklore is inexhaustible spring where needed only to be drawn from. This eidolon is a poetical, but for me it's not exactly. If to assimilate to, whole folk music can be compared with oil deposit that are collocated in the world as a layer and disposed from the surface to the depth of the land".
