Géza Horváth

Géza Horváth (born May 27, 1868 in Komárom , Hungary, † July 19, 1925 in Vienna ) was a Hungarian composer, arranger and music school director who worked in Vienna.

Life

Géza Horváth attended music school in his hometown of Komárom and became a full-time musician at the age of 18. He studied at the Conservatory of the City of Vienna and passed the state music teacher examination in 1892. After a few years as a music teacher, Horvath opened his own private music school.

Around 1911 he was the President of the Board of Licensed Music School Owners.

After his death in 1925, the private Horvath Music School (Hirschengasse 15, 1060 Vienna) was continued by his daughter Blanca Horvath.

Create

During his time as the music school director, Horvath created numerous works for learning the piano and violin, many of which are still used today in modern teaching materials (e.g. Canzonetta). Horvath is considered one of the most outstanding composers and arrangers for multi-handed piano playing.

“From the number of an estimated 400 pieces for piano six hands in the 19th century, the works of Wilhelm Kramer and Géza Horváth stand out. In their numerous original compositions and arrangements, both created a balanced piano setting with equal proportions for the three piano partners. "

His works have been published by well-known publishers in Budapest, Vienna, Leipzig, Mainz, Breslau, Paris, New York, Boston and Moscow.
