中文The journey of musical works from author to performer
The task of the music publisher is to put manuscripts (be they paper or computerised) into a form that is legible, inspiring, and easy to use for performers; and to ensure the promotion, distribution, and legal use of the works.
With 75 years of experience behind us, we do this honourable work with consideration, commitment, and enthusiasm.
We thank the composers and music teachers who entrust their works to us.
Farkas, Ferenc
Ferenc Farkas was one of Hungary’s most decisively important 20th-century composers.
He was born on 15 December, 1905 in Budapest. At the Academy of Music Budapest (1922–27) he was a pupil of Leó Weiner and Albert Siklós, then continued his studies in Rome at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia under the supervision of Ottorino Respighi. From 1935 he taught at the Higher Music School in Budapest, then at the Conservatoire in Kolozsvár, and later at the Székesfehérvár Conservatoire (he was also director of the latter two). In 1949 he was appointed teacher of composition at the Academy of Music Budapest, and as head of department he retired from there in 1965. He died in Budapest on 10 October, 2000.
