Kamilló Lendvay

Study

The piece, commissioned by Eszter Lázár and the Hungarian Radio, was composed in 1995 on occasion of the 50th anniversary of Béla Bartók s death. Its world premiere was held on 1 October in the Hungarian Radio, performed by János Fejérvári. The fantasy-like one-movement composition resembles the structure of classical sonatina. Study is an important piece of contemporary viola music and deserves to be a significant part of not only international concert repertoire, but also of academic level music education.
