Abstract

Attila Bozay’s (1939-1999) opera, Csongor and Tünde (1984) marks a turning point in the composer’s career. His constant references to musical tradition, the reflections on the history of the genre opera as well as the abandoning of his experimental attitude must be sought for in the characteristics of his creative phase beginning in 1971. My study aims at examining the most significant compositions of Bozay’s afore-mentioned period – Pezzo concertato no. 2 (op. 24, 1974-75), Pezzo sinfonico no. 2 (op. 25, 1975-76), and Solo (op. 30/a, 1978) – and at finding signs that point towards stylistic changes in these pieces taking place in the composer’s workshop. I concentrate mainly on signs which prove that Bozay couldn’t entirely identify himself with the experimental mode of thinking. My investigation reveals that Csongor and Tünde takes consciously sides against Bozay’s former stylistic approaches and experimental modernism.
