Maybe there's enough music here already.

I'm seeing this said all over Europe. I've never heard of this before.

Too much music or Make Music Day?
Some music here, I think they can keep it......like that rubbish they play on violins in restaurants. They can keep it!
I've seen a few bands here - Genesis, Omega (several times), Roger Water's The Wall etc.
I'm going to see some oldie but goldie metal bands in November.

From my experience, Hungarians love music. It seems every other Hungarian I meet plays some musical instrument well. They have musical festivals all over the country, especially in the summer. So I see no reason why they need to participate in a "world wide" event -- it might actually be counter productive and dilute the local music scene.
Side note: Yes, there is a lot of really bad "elevator" music also played here. One must be selective in their venues.
