Life
Géza Horváth attended music school in his hometown of Komárom and became a full-time musician at the age of 18. He studied at the Vienna Conservatory and passed the state music teacher examination in 1892. After a few years as a music teacher, Horvath opened his own private music school. Around 1911 he was active as President of the committee of licensed music school owners. After his death in 1925, the private music school Horvath (Hirschengasse 15, 1060 Vienna) was continued by his daughter Blanca Horvath.

Compositions
During his time as music school director, Horvath created numerous works for learning piano and violin, which are often used in modern teaching materials to this day (e.g. Canzonetta). Horvath is considered one of the outstanding composers and arrangers for multi-handed piano playing. “The works by Wilhelm Kramer and Géza Horváth stand out from the estimated 400 pieces for piano duet in the 19th century. In their numerous original compositions and arrangements, both created a balanced piano setting with equal parts for the three piano partners." His works have been published by well-known publishers in Budapest, Vienna, Leipzig, Mainz, Wroclaw, Paris, New York, Boston and Moscow.
