Introduction and Dance, Paperback

Introduction and Dance exploits the alto saxophone's characteristic sound and virtuosity. It starts with a slow, nascent music, which gives way to a very fast dance with aksak rhythm in an asymmetrically segmented 8/16 meter. The work was commissioned by and is dedicated to saxophonist Levente Puskas and pianist Judit Varadi, who premiered it in September 2020 in the Hungarian Radio, and then first performed in concert in November that year.Marton Kerekfy (b. 1981) studied musicology and composition at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest (2000-2007) and received his PhD in musicology (2015) from the same institution. In 2006 he spent one semester on an Erasmus Grant at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Marton is Senior Research Fellow at the Budapest Bartok Archives, Editor of the Bela Bartok Complete Critical Edition, and Editor-in-Chief at Editio Musica Budapest ZenemA±kiado.
