He was the father of Hungarian grand opera, written mainly on historical themes, which are still often performed in Hungary.
Erkel was an internationally acknowledged chess player as well.

As a pianist, conductor and composer whose family attended intimate presentations of the chamber music of Beethoven, Ferenc first moved to Kolozsar (the cultural center of a large geographical area) and then to Pest pursuing his music.
In the latter two operas Erkel developed an uniquely Hungarian operatic form incorporating Viennese nuances with the texture of Hungarian folksongs.
Erkel was by no means limited in scope.

The latter in particular is a strength that is only achieved by the most talented composers, and Erkel certainly emerges in that category, even though his operas have not secured a place in the international repertory.
Furthermore, the orchestral writing is immensely characterful and assured, whether dominating the scene as in the various attractive dance numbers, or in helping create the atmosphere surrounding the drama or the characterisation of individuals.
The style is not necessarily national all the time, and the influence of Verdi seems to be present in both the musical organisation and the response to dramatic situation.

Descended from a family resident for generations in the then Hungarian city of Pozsony (the modern Slovakian capital Bratislava), Ferenc Erkel was a leading figure in Hungarian music in a period of growing national fervour.
This is evident in his piano music, much of it written in the 1840s, testimony to his own distinction as a pianist.
