| Summary: | Cluj's music culture, emerging during the first half of the 19ᵗʰ century.
The article focuses on the developing music culture of Cluj, one of the important cities in Transylvania, the easternmost province of Austria-Hungary. Important events and personalities which influenced the city´s music culture during the first half of the 19ᵗʰ century are presented in chronological order. One of the most essential happening was the founding of the local conservatory as early as 1819, which provided trained musicians for church music, theatre and chamber music performances. Georg Ruzitska (1789–1869), a dominant personality of the city´s musical culture, interfered with almost every scope of the field: education, church music, organ building, opera, chamber music soirees and extraordinary concerts (as Carl Filtsch´s or Franz Liszt´s perfor¬mances). Other mentioned personalities, who contributed signifi-cantly to the music culture of Cluj are Count György Bánffy of Losonc (Governor of Transylvania), János Lavotta (conductor, composer), Philipp Caudella (pia¬nist, composer), Ferenc Erkel (pianist, conductor, compos-er), Andreas Eitel and Heinrich Maywald (organ builders), Martin Kon-nert (piano builder).
