„Let us State, Instead of Denying the Negation.”

The discussion interprets György Szabados’ life work. The train of thoughts attempts to reconstruct the social philosophical concept of the well-known jazz and contemporary music composer. So a better understanding of Szabados’ relationship to classic and contemporary music and his specific musical world – that is based on traditional folk music, Bartók and jazz – can occur. The discussion analyzes the relation of politics to Szabados’ music before and after the fall of communism. Furthermore it locates the literary works within Szabados’ oeuvre. And finally, it interprets the role of Christianity and Far Eastern religions in the musical compositions of Szabados.
