Repertoire in dialogue

Born in Kecskemét, Zoltán Kodály studied composition at the Royal Hungarian Academy of Music in Budapest and then spent a year in Paris with Charles-Marie Widor. An ethnomusicologist who collected folk songs with Béla Bartók and the creator of the music-education method that bears his name, he left for organ alone a Praeludium (1931) and the low mass Organoedia ad missam lectam (Csendes mise).
