HUNGARIAN COMPOSERS 44

The current, 44th volume of the Hungarian Composers small monograph series is the third time that we have undertaken to present the oeuvre of Hungarian composers from Transylvania..

After our publications on Boldizsár Csíky (volume 25) and Péter Vermesy (volume 35), the monograph by the music historian András Benkő, a colleague from Cluj-Napoca, provides the first information on the career of a third 20th-century Hungarian composer from Romania, Albert Márkos (1914-1981), which unfolded in the three decades following World War II. The extensive manuscript preserved in the Benkő estate was revised for our series by the author’s daughter, music historian Judit Benkő. The small monograph provides information about the tone of Márkos' compositions based on Hungarian folk music, his genre groups and the application of newer composer tools, and also provides new knowledge about the regulations that determined the Hungarian musical life in Romania from 1950 to 1980.
The volume concludes with a list of authors and a bibliography.
