Work introduction
In his musical comedy Háry
János (1926), Zoltán Kodály
turned the grotesque tales of the veteran hussar into a successful blend of
realism and naivety, comedy and pathos. Kodály
described Háry as “the personification of the Hungarian story-telling
imagination.” In the popular suite, which was written in 1927, Kodály’s
pictorial sound language breathes life into Háry’s fairytale-like daydreams.
