PAGE II HUNGARIAN MUSIC h e attention of the •igner 'arriving in Huny, is, so far as music is ;erned, primarily attractby the fine opera pernance and the concerts I in Budapest, and is I by the originality and nsive development of the onal melodies. Opera, ig- a class of art, which rires great apparatus and ch in former times was wn and fostered chiefly the nobility, became a or of general culture and cation in connection with development of city life, are indebted to the Ger- 1 influence of Emperor ;ph II. for the oldest still ting theatre—the Yarhaz (Fortress Theatre), this theatre and at the e time also from time to ; in the temporary itre opened in the Rona in Pest, strolling ac, and later on more períent companies, leasing premises, used to give ormances in foreign langes. It should be menied in their favor that he end of the eighteenth ;ury, in addition to playthe Italian operas these ,rs gave all Mozarts’ positions quite frequent- It is generally known in 1812 the new “Buda- Municipal Theatre” opened with Beethos’ two operas “König jhan der erste Wohltae- Ungarns” (King Stephen First Benefactor of Huny) and the “Ruinen von en” (The Ruins of ens) composed for this bial occasion. It was this itre which offered opjtunities for arranging of certs at which also ydn’s Oratories and Befn-en’s compositions were red. Hungarian hisnic art, originally startis a national challenge to foreign companies, de>ped by degrees. The igarian National Theatre tied in 1837, was enabled hold its own and, by ms of excellence of its ra performances and the at success of eminent ngarian singers (Mrs. odel, Cornelva Hollosy) ttracted the public. A guard of composers was ned with members such Bartay, Them, Császár, Doppler, achieving sucses which were surpassed y by Ferenc Erkel, whose -ks are still on the promine of the Opera. As esult of this development opera became separated n the National Theatre I in 1884 moved into its gnificient new abode on Andrassy, ut, built by holas Ybl, where the nanyi, Ede Poldini, Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály, etc.) are performed. In the orchestral development of our musical life the Hungarian Philharmonic Society, established in 1853, has the leading j>art. In its . long existence it has sponsored the works of a great number of Hungarian composers, among them, to mention only a few worldknown names, Ákos Buttykay, Leo Weiner, Ernő Dohnanyi, Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály and a number of other outstanding musicians. Our folk songs, which are played by gypsy orchestras in all kinds of places, deserve special attention. The gypsies, being endowed with great musical talent, have for many centuries specialized in music, a career most suitable to their love of liberty and mobility—and have become very popular with Hungarians. They seem to be the privileged trustees of Hungarian music, ling works in this class of (Puccini. Verdi, Wag. etc.) and the pick of our ional operas. (Emil Abjyi, Jenő Hubay, Béla rbados, Ernő Dohso much so that Hungarian folk songs are generally identified with gypsy music. Their excellent memories enable them to play uur oldest songs just as well as the latest compositions. Their orchestra consists of a string quintet, the soul of which is the first violin or “primas” leading the melody, amplified with cymbal and clarinet. The cymbal in its present improved form allows exceptionally quick passages and vibrations of the sound, which lends the play of the orchestra a peculiar fascination. The gypsies in our national music occupy an eminent reproductive role, although they do not altogether lack composing talent, such as, for instance, Pista Dankó at the end of the last century. The scientific study of our rich store of musical folklore has brought to light ancient treasures of melody which give new fertility to our musical art. Béla Vikar was the initiator of this work of phonographic collection. László Lajtha, Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók have displayed great activity not only in making rich collections of melodies, but have also created new classics by the elaboration of the same. It is hardly necessary to mention that many performances of orchestral and chamber music, educational concerts and performances of light music by smaller orchestras are given. The latest technical achievement, the wireless, also adds to the cultivation of music, and, keeping in view the varied tastes of its audience, broadcasts orchestral concerts, artistic solos and national songs to listeners in all parts of the world. Our musical instruction is able to satisfy the most critical requirements and our Academy of Music in particular has produced a great number of reproductive artists of international repute. Charles Isoz Day will be celebrated at the Stadium in honor of Julius Sobers, Verhovay Member and member of the Cleveland Indians Baseball Team.
