Lajos Kossuth
Lajos Kossuth de Udvard et Kossuthfalva (, hu, udvardi és kossuthfalvi Kossuth Lajos, sk, Ľudovít Košút, anglicised as Louis Kossuth; 19 September 1802 – 20 March 1894) was a Hungarian nobleman, lawyer, journalist, politician, statesman and governor-president of the Kingdom of Hungary during the revolution of 1848–1849. With the help of his talent in oratory in political debates and public speeches, Kossuth emerged from a poor gentry family into regent-president of the Kingdom of Hungary. As the influential contemporary American journalist Horace Greeley said of Kossuth: "Among the orators, patriots, statesmen, exiles, he has, living or dead, no superior." Kossuth's powerful English and American speeches so impressed and touched the famous contemporary American orator Daniel Webster, that he wrote a book about Kossuth's life. He was widely honoured during his lifetime, including in Great Britain and the United States, as a freedom fighter and bellwet ...

Kossuth Memorial
Kossuth Memorial refers to one of three public monuments dedicated to former Hungarian Regent-President Lajos Kossuth in front of the Hungarian Parliament Building on Lajos Kossuth Square in Budapest. The memorial is an important Hungarian national symbol and scene of official celebrations. First memorial After the death of Lajos Kossuth (March 21, 1894) and his sumptuous funeral in Budapest, a public subscription was almost immediately announced to build a memorial for the leader of the 1848 Revolution. During the next years 850,000 forints came together, a huge sum in those days. In 1906 the competition was won by János Horvay after long debates about the style and message of the memorial. Although the public was dissatisfied with Horvay’s idea the sculptor began working. Until 1914 all the figures of the group were completed except Kossuth himself but then the work came to a halt because of World War I. The colossal Ruskica marble plinth remained in the quarry in Transylv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kossuth (Bartók)
''Kossuth'', Sz. 21, BB. 31, DD. 75a is a symphonic poem composed by Béla Bartók inspired by the Hungarian politician Lajos Kossuth. Musical background The music of Richard Strauss was an early influence on Bartók, who was studying at the Budapest Royal Academy of Music when he encountered the symphonic poems of Strauss, ''Also sprach Zarathustra'' and ''Ein Heldenleben''. Bartók was present at the 1902 Budapest premiere of ''Also sprach Zarathustra'', where he met Strauss in person. According to Bartók "I was aroused as by a flash of lightning by the first Budapest performance of ''Also Sprach Zarathustra''. It contained the seeds for a new life. I started composing again." Soon after, Bartok first made a piano reduction of ''Ein Heldenleben''. He then went on to compose his own symphonic poem ''Kossuth'' completing the piano score by spring of 1903 and the orchestral version in summer of 1903 in Gmunden in Austria. Historical background The symphonic poem was composed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
