Abstract
Description
István Kolonics, born in Szabadka (Subotica), moved to (Târgu Secuiesc) in 1855. He eventually became one of the most famous and most assiduous organ builders of the nineteenth century in Transylvania. He built about two hundred new instruments and repaired several. He also instructed numerous assistants. For many years this guaranteed the organs in Hungarian Catholic and Protestant churches to be in working order. This article, the third in the cycle about Kolonics edited in Studia UBB Musica, presents his work in the context of the tradition of organ-building in the 19th century in Transylvania.
