It is frankly little short of a miracle that the name of Carl Frühling is still remembered today, since we know next to nothing about him. Scant biographical notes provide a few reference points rather than an orderly “résumé” of his life, and a mere handful of the hundred or more works he is thought to have composed is extant today. The main reason for his relegation to oblivion is a fact that Frühling kept secret; a fact that nevertheless had to be declared on official documents: he was Jewish. Even before the Nazis took power his religion had caused him problems, making it difficult for him to pursue a career as a composer. As a result, Frühling understandably tried to conceal his religious adherence. In 1907 he converted to Protestantism and in his CV of 1929 he stated that he was born in Vienna. The truth is however that he actually came from Lviv (the Germans called it Lemberg, and today, the city is in Ukraine), then a predominantly Jewish city, where he was born on November 28, 1868.

The friendship between Mátyás Seiber and Antal Doráti dates back to their youth, when they were the two youngest students in Zoltán Kodály’s composition class in Budapest in the 1920s. Doráti was one year younger than Seiber and held him in high esteem from the beginning. In the memoirs, Így láttuk Kodályt [‘Thus We Saw Kodály’], he writes the following: “The two ‘best’ were Mátyás Seiber and Lajos Bárdos. Matyi [Mátyás] wrote a great string quartet at the time, which has survived. One of our tasks was to write variations on a Handel theme. In response to one of Seiber’s slow-tempo variations, Mr Kodály said: ‘That’s nice’. In our eyes – at least in my eyes – that was the canonization of Matyi”.

Jenő Takács’ works have accompanied generations of beginner instrumental students on their first foray into contemporary music. But also with his works like the Concerto for Piano, Strings, and Percussion Jenö Takács clearly placed himself in a line with the great paragons Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. Getting to know Bártok further increased the Hungarian element (topicality, rhythm, bitonality) in his compositions. With the impressionist coloring and the influences of Hungarian folk music, studying with Joseph Marx added a strict contrapuntal note to his works. Jenö Takács was a humanist, a “musical cosmopolitan”, an eyewitness of almost the entire 20th century.

HeinrichHofmann (1842-1902) hatte ein unspektakuläres Leben, aber einige spektakuläre Erfolge. Berühmt wurde er 1869 im Alter von 27 Jahren mit seinem Pariser Kriminalstück Cartouche; Jacques Offenbachs Einakter waren zu dieser Zeit in Berlin sehr beliebt. Von nun an musste Hofmann keinen Klavierunterricht mehr geben, sondern konnte von den Einnahmen aus seinen Kompositionen leben. Mit seiner programmatischen Sinfonie Frithjof (nach einer nordischen Sage), der heroischen Oper Armin (die mit dem Sieg der Cherusker im Teutoburger Wald endet) und der geistreichen Musikalischen Komödie Ännchen von Tharau (in der ein junger Theologiestudent dem alten Lyriker Simon Dach das Volkslied Ännchen abschnorrt) schuf er Werke, die zu seiner Zeit häufig aufgeführt wurden und den Zeitgeist der Jahre 1870 bis 1890 nach der Reichsgründung widerspiegelten. Doch auch seine ehrenvolle Aufnahme in die Berliner Akademie der Künste konnte nicht verhindern, dass seine Werke ab den 1890er Jahren immer seltener aufgeführt wurden. Nach seinem Tod geriet seine Musik weitgehend in Vergessenheit.
