About

The friendship between Mátyás Seiber and Antal Doráti dates back to their youth, when they were the two youngest students in Zoltán Kodály's composition class in Budapest in the 1920s. Doráti was a year younger than Seiber and held him in high esteem from the beginning. In his memoir Így láttuk Kodályt ['This is How We Saw Kodály'] he writes the following:

"The two 'best' were Mátyás Seiber and Lajos Bárdos. Matyi [Mátyás] wrote a great string quartet at that time, which has been preserved. One of our tasks was to write variations on a Handel theme. To one of Seiber's slow variations, Mr. Kodály said, 'That's beautiful.' In our eyes - at least in my eyes - that was the canonization of Matyi."
