This paper presents the music critiques by Géza Csáth which are focused on the activity of Hungarian composer and music pedagogue Ernő Lányi in Subotica. The critiques were published in the daily newspapers Bácskai Hírlap in Subotica, and in Budapest, in Budapesti Napló, Polgár and A Hét, as well as in the literary journal Nyugat. In conclusion the authors estimated Lányi's real importance for the music life in Subotica, the artistic value of his compositions, as well as the question of the objectivity of Csáth's opinion about them.
