Erőd Iván

Composer
Place of Birth
Budapest
Date of Birth
1936
 
2 January 1936 Budapest - 24 June 2019, Vienna

Austrian composer and pianist born in Hungary.

Eröd studied under Pál Kadosa (piano) and Ferenc Szabó (composition) while at the Liszt Academy of Music. He moved to Austria in 1956 and studied there at the Vienna Music Academy, under Richard Hauser (piano) and Karl Schiske (composition). He took several summer classes at Darmstadt.

In 1960 he launched a career as a pianist. From 1962 to 1968 he was director of studies at the Vienna Festival. From 1967 to 1989 he taught music theory and composition at the Graz Musikhochschule, and later taught at the Vienna Musikhochschule. He has won many awards, including the Bartók-Pásztory Foundation award in 1993.

Stylistically, Erőd's music was initially influenced by Hungarians such as Bartók and Kodály. After moving to Vienna he became more insterested in serialism. Later works returned to tonality and Hungarian-inspired elements. In the 1980s and 1990s he incorporated influences from American music.

Awards:
1993 Bartók-Pásztory Award
2010 Ferenc Erkel Award
