General Information about the Composer

Ede Terényi (1935-2020), Hungarian composer from Transylvania, musicologist, and pedagogue, studied at the music college in Târgu-Mureş (1942-52), earned his diploma from the G. Dima Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca. For over five decades he has been a professor of harmony, counterpoint, composition, and music dramaturgy at the same institution. He received the Enescu Scholarship in 1957 and the Enescu Prize of the Romanian Academy in 1960. He was also awarded the scholarship of the International Courses and Festivals for Modern Music in Darmstadt. His outstanding works include the Aphoristic Sonata for piano, Pasărea măiastră ("The Magic Bird", variations for orchestra, available on Electrecord ST-ECE 0907), Composition B.A.C.H. for organ, Terzine di Dante for baritone, trombone and piano, Symphony for Strings in Memoriam Bakfark (Electrecord ST-ECF 01807), Madrigals on Poems by Balint Balassi, Attila József (Electrecord ST-ECE 01160), Songs to Poems by Endre Ady for baritone and piano, Piano-Playing, a Sonatina and Sonata for violin and piano, String Quartets No. 1 and No. 2, Concerto for String Orchestra, Vivaldiana, Capriccio grazioso, Händeliana, Golden Spring, Silver Forest, Choral Concerto, Swing Suite, and many other works. Besides the Romanian musical centers, his works have been played in Budapest, Prague, Graz, Nuremberg, Darmstadt, Hanover, Utrecht, Paris, Brussels, and Helsinki.

Ede Terényi's musical language followed several stages. In his first works we notice the influence of the Hungarian folklore from Transylvania and his superior form of expression form Bartók's music. Then, in the '60s, Ede Terényi founds himself a personal musical language characterized by the transfiguration of the Bartók elements and the Webern serial music in a vision in which the mark of the autochthonous folklore stays clearly perceptible. Later, in the '70s, the penetration towards the music of the contemporary generation was concretized in a new composition orientation based on the musical graphism. Gradually, this tendency to an ever-concise drawing of the musical parameters led to the search for an antipole, found in the autochthonous music of the remote past - XV-XVIth century. More recently, Ede Terényi seeks the possibilities of bringing to life again archaic elements in an ever more modern form. In the field of musicology, Ede Terényi shows himself permanently concerned by stylistic analyses of contemporary music, directly regarding the specific aspects of the musical language and particularly of harmony. The different studies announce for the future a general theory of harmony for the music of the first five decades of the XXth century. His musicological activity also includes the field of essay, which he cultivates with a sustained frequency. Some of these essays being gathered in his book "Music remains Music?".
