Franjo Kuhač

Franjo Ksaver Kuhač (November 20, 1834 – June 18, 1911) was an Austro-Hungarian piano teacher, choral conductor, composer, and comparative musicologist who studied Croatian folk music. Kuhač did a great deal of field work in this area, collecting and publishing 1,600 folk songs. Like Cecil Sharp, who did similar work in Britain and Appalachia, Kuhač published the folk songs with a piano accompaniment. Provided by Wikipedia
