Gábor Winkler characterises the artistry of space design in the big Lutheran churches built during the latter part of 08 in Pozsony, Sopron and Győr. According to recent analysis these churches were built in the very early classicist style. Each is a full and convincingly beautiful variation of the selfsame basic design. More recent researches indicate that the church at Győr reflects the indirect influence of French Protestant architecture. The journal has made a significant Hungarian eontributior towards celebrating the anniversaries of Ferenc Liszt’s birth and death by commissioning musician Imre Sulyok to review the new entire edition of Liszt’s musical compositions.
