GEZA FRID (pianoforte)   
(First performance in England) 
Geza Frid was born in 1904 at Maramarossziget, Hungary. He studied the piano from the age of five, receiving his first lessons from ,his mother. Later he continued his studies in Budapest at the Academy of Music, where he worked at composition as well as the piano. In 1927 Geza Frid went abroad, giving concerts in nearly all the countries in Europe. After long periods in Italy and in France, he chose Amsterdam as his permanent residence. 
He had his first success as a composer in 1927, the year in which his string quartet was played in Budapest and in London. Since that date he has written several important chamber works, including a string trio and a 'cello sonata. In the course of his work as a pianist Geza Frid has made known his own piano compositions; his orchestral works include a Suite and a Violin Concerto.   
(First performance in England) 
Kodaly and Bartok are the two leading national composers of Hungary. Kodaly studied at the Budapest Conservatoire and during that time came under the influence of the music of Brahms and Debussy. He then became deeply interested in folk-song and travelled through remote parts of Hungary collecting folk tunes among the peasants, from whom he obtained between three and four thousand. 
In 1906 Kodaly was appointed 
Professor of Composition at the Budapest Conservatoire, and for many years he also practised as a musical critic.
