The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

“Complete nonsense, anachronistic, snobbish, madly boring, a complete waste of time. Who on earth goes to CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERTS today?!? TO A CONCERT HALL?!?? Wake up, guys, we’re travelling by Railjet, not horse and cart; we don’t draw water from the well anymore. People in tails prancing about stage sets as though it was still 1827; 300-year-old minuets and an incomprehensible cacophony; and all the while old ladies are rustling sweet papers and coughing as though they were in a sanatorium. And you have to pay for this!? Then there’s the conductor! Everyone makes out like he is doing something important while all he’s really doing is waving a bit of wood around and nearly falling off the podium as a consequence. The whole thing’s a joke. What’s so good about this anyway?”
