HUNGARIAN COMPOSERS 45

László Tihanyi is a defining figure of the generation of composers born in the 1950s.

The ever-enriching, expanding spirit of his oeuvre is connected in many ways to 20th-century and contemporary French music, and even, in a broader sense, to the universal artistic heritage of the past and present. Important sources of inspiration for his works are literature, Greek mythology, astrology and cinema.
This volume is the first to undertake to present the role of this diverse oeuvre, which is also noteworthy in its sovereignty -– including the author's performing and pedagogical activities -– in the Hungarian musical life of our time. The small monograph, which relies primarily on László Tihanyi's oral and written statements, is complemented by a comprehensive bibliography and a selected bibliography.
