Miklós Rózsa (April 18, 1907 - July 27, 1995) was a Hungarian-born composer, best known for his film scores, most notably the score to the 1959 epic Ben-Hur.

When Daniel Robbins graduated from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1976 with a Masters degree in composition his thesis took the form of a string quartet, wich he didicated to Miklós Rózsa. Robbins had by that time long been acquainted with the composer and had spent a year studying orchestration with him. Additionally, as a pianist, Robbins had played a number of Rózsa works in recital, including the difficult Sonata, opus 20, making him the composer's choice when it was decided in 1994 to record a number of Rózsa's film themes in piano form for Intrada, the success of wich CD called for a second volume.
