Pál Kadosa, 1933

Pál Kadosa (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈpaːl ˈkɒdoʃɒ]; 6 September 1903, Léva, Austria-Hungary (now Levice, Slovakia) – 30 March 1983, Budapest) was a pianist and Hungarian composer of the post-Bartók generation. His early style was influenced by Hungarian folklore while his later works were more toward Hindemith and expressively forceful idioms. He was born in Levice. He studied at the national Hungarian Royal Academy of Music under Zoltán Székely and Zoltán Kodály.[1]

He was head of the piano department of the Franz Liszt Academy for many years and his students have included such leading musicians as György Ligeti, György Kurtág, Iván Erőd, Ferenc Rados, Arpad Joó, András Schiff, Zoltán Kocsis, Dezső Ránki, Valéria Szervánszky, Ronald Cavaye, Jenő Jandó, Kenji Watanabe, István Kassai, and Balázs Szokolay, among others..

Kadosa was forced to leave his teaching position in 1943 to due political reasons, but went on to serve on the Hungarian Arts Council and become an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music.[2] Kadosa's work included two operas, eight symphonies, four sonatas, and six concertos.[3]
