ERKEL, FERENC BIOGRAPHY

(1810 - 1893)

Descended from a family resident for generations in the then Hungarian city of Pozsony (the modern Slovakian capital Bratislava), Ferenc Erkel was a leading figure in Hungarian music in a period of growing national fervour. This is evident in his piano music, much of it written in the 1840s, testimony to his own distinction as a pianist.
