At the start of the project in 2019, the team consisted of only four members and an external contributor. As the research has expanded, deepened, and differentiated, the team grew: we were pleased to welcome several young musicology and church music students from the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy. In November 2022, at the beginning of the fourth year of the project, the research group has nine members.
