Zoltán Kodály Zoltán Kodály, 1882-1967 Menuetto [für] Streichquartett Autograph Manuscript, 1897 In: Eugene Ormandy Papers Ms. Coll. 125 Written in 1897 when the composer was 14, the minuet is Kodály's earliest known surviving work. In classic Menuetto-trio form, the composition is a student exercise in the style of Joseph Haydn. Kodály inscribed the manuscript to Walter Toscanini (the son of the conductor Arturo), from whom Eugene Ormandy received it as a gift. The connection is significant: Ormandy long maintained cordial relations with both the Italian conductor, whom he idolized, and the Hungarian composer, under whom he studied at the Budapest Academy.
