List of Publications    dvi   PostScript     pdf






I proudly claim that my Erdõs Number is exactly 3. The reason is that four co-authors of mine, I. Bárány, E. Gutkin, E. W. Kiss, and M. Misiurewicz are listed on the web page of People with Erdõs number at most two, and I am not (yet) on that list.

Why not fully embrace the greatest artistic achievements of human spirit? Why not carefully and joyfully listen to the monumental masterpieces of (Viennese) High Classical style, like (just to mention a few grandious recordings)



• Franz Joseph Haydn: The "Sturm und Drang" Symphonies, Frans Brüggen (Conductor), Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (Orchestra), or



• Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet, or



• Beethoven - The Complete Piano Sonatas by András Schiff? (The last six yet to be recorded.)
