What remains open?

How to read this archive
We distinguish words, melody, performance and arrangement. A source supports a specific claim; a missing credit does not prove historical anonymity. Open questions remain visible in each entry, ready for new testimony or recordings.
These paths describe circulation and cultural association, not exclusive origins or ownership. The same entry may belong to several regions.
