Answer to Question 1

 The Tatra Mountains form a natural border between the southern tip of Poland and Slovakia and are part of the Carpathian mountain range, which runs from Romania through Ukraine, then along the borders of Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, and ends just north of Vienna (Austria). These mountains have fostered similar cultural practices among the people who live along these mountains.
 The Tatra region is considered unique due to this mountain isolation . . . but the music is linked in significant ways to other European musical traditions, and, as we shall see, more recently to world beat' music.

Answer to Question 2

 Most often they are deployed within societies to elevate certain musical practices for social and political reasons and to devalue others. . . . In this book, the authors emphasize music as human behavior. Of course categorizing musical practices and repertories as classical, folk, and so forth is itself meaningful human behavior, and it does affect how we conceive of music, but musical practices tend to thwart geographic and conceptual borders.
