Ivett Gyöngyösi wins 1st prize at the Vladimir Krainev International Piano Competition in Kharkov

The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians. (Sir Georg Solti)
