Szalay, now as a capable, practically experienced and educated piano teacher occupying an honorable place in the musical world, has just once again made several very successful keyboard pieces - including a Mazure romanesque, which he now composes to the real joy of all friends who appreciate excellent musical talent and art comrades intends to publish. Despite the current overcrowding of our musical stores with jewelery hair of the most colorful kind, Szalay's compositions will at least offer a pleasant donation; they come from the school of that beautiful time, when Hummel's genius still ruled undecided.Template: ANNO / maintenance / osm
