Description
MihályMosonyi (1815-1870) MihályMosonyi, known for many years under his original name, Michael Brand, was bornin Boldogasszonyfalva, Hungary (now Frauenkirchen, Austria), on 2nd September 1815 and died on 31st October 1870 in Pest. He was the third mostimportant Hungarian composer of the nineteenth century. He did not enjoy aninternational reputation, like Liszt, or a European reputation, like Erkel,nevertheless he was famous enough in his own country. He studied at theTeachers' Training College in Pozsony (the modern Bratislava, capital of Slovakia) and for a time hadprivate lessons from the pianist, composer and conductor Károly Turányi, whilemaking diligent use of the four volumes of Anton Reicha's work on the art ofcomposition, as well as of Hummel's valuable instruction-book for the piano. Onthe recommendation of Turányi he became music-master to Count Péter Pejacsevichand accompanied the Count to the latter's castle in the village of Rétfalu, near the town of Eszék (the modern CroatianOsijek). From1835 to 1842 Brand lived at Rétfalu, analysing carefully many importantexamples of Viennese classicism, mainly the work of Beethoven, as well as ofthe best early German romantic compositions. The results of these researcheswere his own compositions from that period. In 1842 he left for the Hungariancapital, where he remained until the end of his life, except for short periodsspent in the country and abroad. In these new circumstances it was veryimportant for him to be personally acquainted with as many musicians in thecity as possible, and to find enough students. For a long time his principalincome came from teaching the piano, although he continued to apply himselfdiligently to composition. EssentiallyBrand's life and activities may be divided into two periods. The first of theselasted unti11858. Until then he retained the name of Michael Brand and composedGerman romantic music. In 1859 he changed his name to Mihály Mosonyi, after thecounty of Moson, where he was born, andaltered his style, to write Hungarian romantic music. During the first periodthe best work he wrote was the Piano Concerto in E minor, completed in 1844,but not performed until 1950. His other compositions from this period were, in1857, an opera with a German libretto, which remained unperformed, four Masses,between 1840 and 1842, the first performed in 1844, seven sacred choral works,between 1843 and 1856, with an Offertory and Gradual conducted by Liszt in thelatter year. Between 1844 and 1857 he wrote four secular choral works, in1853-54 thirteen songs, with one symphony in 1842-44 and a second in 1856, thefirst conducted by Schindelmeisser in 1844, the second by Ferenc Erkel in 1856.Other compositions include an Overture, completed in 1842 and conducted bySchindelmeisser in 1843, a string sextet, composed in 1844, six string quartetsbetween 1842 and 1845, a Grand Nocturne in 1845 for piano -
