From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kornél Ábrányi, or Ábrányi Kornél in Hungarian iteration (October 15, 1822, Szentgyörgyábrány – December 20, 1903, Budapest) was a Hungarian pianist, music writer and theorist, and composer. A pupil of Frédéric Chopin, and a close friend of Franz Liszt, whose music he championed, Ábrányi chiefly wrote music for piano, but also composed chamber music, choral works, and lieder. He began teaching at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music on its founding in 1875 and became its Secretary.
