As a researcher of Joseph Haydn\u2019s oeuvre, he played a pioneering role in uncovering the manuscript sources of the works and in shaping the principles of historically informed performance practice. His achievements were recognized with, among other distinctions, the Sz\u00e9chenyi Prize and the Officer\u2019s Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit. His knowledge and dedication have left us a lasting legacy.<\/p>\n<p>We preserve his memory with respect and gratitude.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We bid farewell to L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Somfai<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11393,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-category"],"acf":[],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11400"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11401,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11400\/revisions\/11401"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haydneum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
