Extract

ENDRE SZERVÁNSZKY (b. 1911) is the almost exact opposite of Járdányi. The latter's music is coolly balanced, largely undemonstrative, and preserves accepted manners of musical parlance: Szervánszky's reflects his impulsively constituted personality and is fired by an impetuous desire to convey a deeply felt experience. Since he regards the immediacy of that experience the paramount consideration, he is liable to disregard prevailing notions of sound workmanship and even cultivated taste. In fact the respective position of Bartok and Kodaly is strikingly paralleled in the relationship of Szervánszky to Járdányi.
