Ernő Lendvai (1925 – 1993) was one of the first theorists to write on the appearance of the golden section and Fibonacci series and how these are implemented in Bartok's music. [See .] He also formulated the Axis system and Acoustic scale.

Lenvai was married to the pianist Erzsébet Tusa, and together they moved to Szombathely in 1949 to run a local music school. [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20060624042200/http://www.savaria-symphony.hu/eng/history.html History of the Savaria Symphony Orchestra ] ]
