Soon however he was able to study violin, and then in 1927 he was admitted to the Franz Liszt Academy of Music where he became a student of Zoltán Kodály.
He died on January 16, 1961[1] in Budapest. His students included Erzsébet Szőnyi, István Láng, and Péter Eötvös.
His list of compositions includes several concertos and a symphonic poem among other works.
