The Franz Liszt Academy of Music ( Hungarian Liszt Ferenc Zeneművészeti Egyetem ) is a university for music in the Hungarian capital Budapest . With around 900 students, it is the largest music university in Hungary.
history
The Music Academy was founded on November 14th, 1875 by the pianist and composer Franz Liszt (Ferenc Liszt) as the Royal Hungarian Music Academy . In 1925 it was given its current name. From 1928 to 1944 the highly respected composer and conductor Ernst von Dohnányi was director of the university, which is still one of the most internationally renowned training institutions for young musicians today. The professors included Béla Bartók (piano) and Zoltán Kodály (composition).

main building
The art nouveau hall of the academy in the new building from 1907 (architects Kálmán Giergl and Flóris Korb ) is one of the most important examples of this style in Budapest. The building was extensively renovated by the end of 2013.
Concert organ
The organ of the music academy was built as Opus 975 by the organ building company Voit & Sons (Karlsruhe- Durlach ) with 74 registers on 4 manuals and pedal and inaugurated in 1907. What is striking is the expansive free pipe prospect that extends over the entire gallery.
In the course of time the organ, which was originally arranged in a late romantic style, was rebuilt several times and adapted to the changing tastes of the time. In 2018 the instrument was inaugurated again after extensive restoration by the organ builder Klais (Bonn). In the course of the restoration, it was largely returned to its original condition from 1907, in particular the electrical action from the time it was built was reconstructed down to the last detail. The console was equipped with modern electronics, the instrument received a. a. a modern typesetting system and can also be controlled using a removable touchscreen . The concert organ has 77 stops on four manual works and a pedal, including 5 extended and transmitted stops.
