Ernő Dohnányi | photo: Library of Congress
Composer Ernst von Dohnányi (Ernö Dohnányi in Hungarian) was born on this date in 1877. He was considered the first of the great Hungarian composers (and pianists) since Franz Liszt (1811-1886). Leaving Europe in 1944 and in 1949 taking a post teaching music in Florida, he became a U.S. citizen in 1955. In 1895 his early Piano Quintet No. 1 was praised by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). In 1935 he composed his final chamber music in a Sextet for the creative grouping of clarinet, horn, piano, violin, viola and cello. At times dark, the sextet moves toward a jazzy finale where a lilting but off-kilter waltz briefly interjects before a good-natured conclusion. For his birthday today, the Sextet in C-major by Ernst von Dohnányi is today's Midday Masterpiece.
