中文Der Weg der Musikwerke vom Komponisten zum Interpreten
Die Aufgabe eines Musikverlags besteht darin, die musikalischen Gedanken der Komponisten in eine für die Interpreten gut lesbare, inspirierende und gut nutzbare Form zu bringen; für die Bekanntmachung, Verbreitung und rechtmäßige Nutzung der Werke zu sorgen. Mit der Erfahrung von drei Vierteljahrhunderten im Rücken erfüllen wir diese ehrenvolle Aufgabe kompetent, engagiert und mit Begeisterung.
Wir danken den Komponisten und Musikpädagogen dafür, dass sie uns die Betreuung ihrer Werke anvertrauen.
Orbán, György
György Orbán (born 12 July 1947 in Târgu Mureș, Romania) is an internationally recognised composer whose music is rooted in Hungarian folk traditions, often blending characteristic national idioms with grotesque, humorous, and at times satirical elements. His early works were influenced by avant-garde trends, but his style later took a neo-Romantic turn. He frequently evokes the sound and formal ideals of earlier periods in music history. A defining feature of his music is its naturally appealing sonority and its sense of classical balance and proportion. In addition to his stage works, oratorios, instrumental and vocal compositions, he has also composed film scores and incidental music for the theatre.
He studied composition between 1968 and 1973 at the Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca with Sigismund Toduţă and Max Eisikovits, and music theory with Jagamas János. From 1973 to 1979, he taught music theory and counterpoint at the same institution. After moving to Hungary, he worked as a music editor at Editio Musica Budapest from 1979 to 1990, and from 1982 he served as professor of music theory and composition at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music.
His work has been recognised with several awards, including the Bartók–Pásztory Prize (1991), the Erkel Prize (2002), the Artisjus Prize (2005), and the Kossuth Prize (2014).
