The Vienna Opera has announced the death of Iván Eröd, a Hungarian-born composer who worked for several years as house repetiteur.

Losing much of his family at Auschwitz, Eröd fled Budapest in 1956 and struggled at first to make a living. Installed eventually as a professor at Graz, he turned out a stream of string quartets and piano music, much of it enriched by the influences of Bartok and Kodaly.
