Miklós Radnai

Miklós Radnai (1 January 1892 – 4 November 1935) was a Hungarian composer, critic and music writer.

While still in secondary school, he entered the Academy of Music in Budapest, where he studied under János Koessler and Viktor Herzfeld.

In 1924, with some associated artists, he gave a performance of his own works, including his Violin Sonata, Poems for piano, and songs.

[1] He restored the institution's artistic reputation that had deteriorated during and after World War I, and put its financial affairs on a sound footing.

These were followed by the Hungarian premieres, mostly shortly after their world premieres, of Stravinsky's Oedipus rex, Puccini's Turandot, Milhaud's "three-minute" operas, Hindemith's Hin und zurück, Malipiero's Il finto Arlecchino (from his trilogy Il mistero di Venezia), and others.
