A parcel arrived from Hungary for my birthday. It was from my very much loved and missed brother, Palko. A lovely card and two mysterious gifts wrapped beautifully. My brother always had a great taste and a lovely artistic handwork. When after teaching I opened the parcels, I got a real surprise. He really knows me well. He always knew what made me happy and with lovely taste was able to find the right gift to surprise me. He also understands that music is my life and that it gives me tremendous pleasure. He selected my birthday present exactly according to this principal. An art work from an ex-college of mine, Marianna Meszaros from Kecskemet, our town. Marianna is my friend on Facebook and I constantly see her works there.
Palko has posted one of her creations on the Transcendent Etudes by Franz Liszt which Marianna has made in 2011 for the 200th Anniversary of Liszt and won a second prize at a competition. I have been following her works on her blog and Facebook postings and I very much liked them. The fact that Palko decided to select this artwork for my birthday is quite amazing for many reasons. The facts that the artwork is from Kecskemet, from an artist whom I know and I am in touch with, artwork inspired by Liszt, the famous Hungarian composer and piano virtuoso whose Academy of Music I studied at seem to be almost too much connection. I was deeply touched by his insight and thoughtfulness. I also love these pictures because I just read that Liszt was such a powerful pianist that not many pianos could withstand his force and energetic performances. The famous Bosendorfer was Liszt's preference due to it's strength and beautiful sound quality. That is the brand we had at our school and I grew up with. This picture for me wears Liszt's touch, leaving a piano almost in ruins after a performance. I wanted to share with picture with my readers.
If you want to check out other members of Marianna's series on Liszt, visit her blog to see her pictures. Visit
Art Brigad and enjoy the pictures!
