Abstract:
One of the most frequently cited explanations of the influence of folk music on cultivated music is one known as the \"seeping up\" theory. The theory states that folk music is the root of cultivated music. Although a sweeping generalization, it perhaps comes closest to having validity when it is related to the art song of the 19th-century.
