- András Szollosy (1921-2007) was one of the most
- significant Hungarian composers of the second half
- of the 20th century, yet his oeuvre has not become
- as well-known as that of György Ligeti, two years
- his junior, or of György Kurtág, five years his
- junior. Szollosy did not compose many works and he
- was strict about which of them he would allow to
- go public. As a younger colleague of his once
- remarked: 'He only composed his good works.'
- Szollosy's Sonata for Solo Violin, which was
- written at the age of 26 and was publicly
- performed only in 2006, almost 60 years after its
- composition, fell victim to his self-criticism.
- Although the model of Bartók's Sonata for Solo
- Violin of just three years earlier was obviously
- on the young composer's mind, he was no epigone of
- the great master. From the aspect of both
- composition and instrumental technique, the
- 11-minute Sonata for Solo Violin represents
- exacting and prominent music, and is a remarkable
- piece among works written for the violin in
- 20th-century Hungarian music. The score of the
- posthumously published work was edited by the
- soloist of its world premiere, Michael Barta.
