6 BIOGRAPHY ÉLETRAJZ LÁSZLÓ LAJTHA László Lajtha, one of the greatest Hungarian composers of the first half of the twentieth century, was born in Budapest on 30th June He took his composer s diploma as a pupil of Viktor Herzfeld at the Budapest Academy of Music in 1913 and continued his studies in Leipzig and in Geneva, until 1914 spending six months of each year in Paris. There Lajtha was a pupil of Vincent d Indy, who introduced him to the musical world of Paris and the periods he spent there brought friendship with a number of people who exercised a decisive influence on his musical language. He began to collect folk-music in the second decade of the century, then spending the four years of the war at the front as an artillery officer. In 1919 he was appointed to the teaching staff of the Budapest National Conservatory. From 1928 Lajtha was a member of the International Commission of Popular Arts and Traditions of the League of Nations and then a member of the Commission of Arts and Letters until the outbreak of the second World War. He was also a member of the committee of the International Folk Music Council, based in London. It was in 1928 that he signed his first contract with the Paris publisher Leduc, his exclusive publisher from His international career as a composer began in 1929 with the Third String Quartet commissioned by Elisabeth Sprague-Coolidge. After the second World War László Lajtha became director of music for Hungarian Radio, director of the Museum of Ethnography and of the National Conservatory. In 1947, commissioned to provide film music, he spent a year in London, but on his return lost all his official positions, for political reasons. In 1951 he received the Kossuth Prize for his activities in the field of folk-music. In 1955 he was elected corresponding member of the French Académie des Beau-Arts.

Zenei tudását előbb Lipcsében és Genfben tökéletesítette, majd 1914-ig minden évben hat hónapot töltött Párizsban, ahol Vincent d Indy nemcsak tanította, hanem a párizsi zenei életbe is bevezette. A Párizsban eltöltött időszak, a párizsi művészélet számos képviselőjével 5
