Béla Bartók (25 March 1881 – 26 September 1945) was a Hungarian composer, pianist and ethnomusicologist.
Practical Ethnomusicology
Bartok's compositional command of folk elements is expressed in such an authentic and undiluted a manner because of the scales, sounds, and rhythms that were so much a part of his native Hungary that he automatically saw music in these terms. -- Wikipedia
Bela Bartók’s rhythmic verve,
And his scalar complication,
Come from efforts to preserve
The folk songs of the Magyar nation.

Johann Adolph Hasse (bapt. 25 March 1699 – 16 December 1783)was an 18th-century German composer, singer and teacher of music.
Married Life
They were described by the famous librettist Metastasio as "truly an exquisite couple". -- Wikipedia, s.v. "Faustina Bordoni"
Musical success was fed
By matrimony,
When Johann Adolf Hasse wed
Faustina Bordoni.
