Abstract
One day during the summer, after a long and widely ranging discussion, I left Kodály starting a Greek lesson. On another day we were to lunch together. Could I, he asked, walk to the restaurant? He, I discovered, had spent the earlier part of the morning walking in the Buda Hills. Kodály's physical activity and his zest for living are combined with a vivid intellectual energy, a splendid sense of humour, and an equal zest for learning. In analysis he is shrewd, in exposition direct. In short he has the qualities that one would look for in a teacher—in this context a school-teacher. That is what Kodály is, and as such he is, in the field of music, unique, for he remains at the same time a great composer.
