György Kurtág

György Kurtág ( Hungarian: [ˈɟørɟ ˈkurtaːɡ] ; born 19 February 1926) is a Hungarian composer of contemporary classical music and pianist. According to Grove Music Online , his style draws on " Bartók , Webern and, to a lesser extent, Stravinsky ", and "his work is characterized by compression in scale and forces, and by a particular immediacy of expression". In 2023 he was described as "one of the last living links to the defining postwar composers of the European avant-garde".
