összhangon

Összhangon is a Hungarian music instruction method that focuses on the development of musicality and ensemble playing skills. The method, created by Hungarian music educator Lajos Tolnai, emphasizes the importance of-listening and responding to intuition in musical communication.

At the core of Összhangon lies the concept of "tone color" or "sound texture", which refers to the unique timbre and quality of a sound. Practitioners of Összhangon seek to cultivate their capacity to hear and produce a wide range of tone colors, allowing for more nuanced and expressive musical interactions.

Through a series of exercises and improvisational activities, Összhangon provides a framework for musicians to develop their skills in harmonizing, responding to and supporting each other in a musical context. These exercises involve listening to and playing with pre-recorded materials or with fellow musicians, and responding to them with a high degree of sensitivity and intuition.

The method has gained recognition and has been applied in various musical settings, from classical music ensembles to jazz and folk groups. While Összhangon's primary emphasis lies in the development of musical communication and expression, it can also be seen as a means to improve musical listening skills, creativity, and spontaneity. As a concept, Összhangon offers a unique perspective on the nature of musical interaction, highlighting the importance of human intuition and empathy in the creative process.
