László Lajtha Born: Born 6/30/1892 in Budapest Died: Died 2/16/1963 at age 70 in Budapest

Symphony No. 7, Revolution “I think of Lajtha’s music as angularly romantic. This symphony has colorfully impassioned lines that are often surrounded by harsh 31 min motives, similar to what you’d find in a film score.” –Matthew Ross, TŌN flutist Written 1957, at age 65 Premiered 4/26/1958 at the Salle Pleyel in Paris Hungarian Radio Orchestra György Lehel, conductor Movements Modéré—Agité (At a moderate tempo, then agitated) Lent (Slow) Agité (Agitated)
