- Ladislaus Bus-Fekete first worked as a critic for the Hungarian theater magazine Színházi Élet. His review of the only (lost) opera by the operetta composer Paul Abraham (Etelkas Herz) is interesting from a musical history point of view. Later he also worked as a journalist in Vienna and reported, among other things, on the Olympic Games in 1936.
Bus-Fekete celebrated success as a writer of theater comedies in Budapest, Vienna and Berlin in the 1920s and also in the early 1930s. His "birthday play. A life picture in six chapters" was later filmed by Ernst Lubitsch under the name Heaven Can Wait (German: A heavenly sinner) in Hollywood. After his play "Jean," a Hollywood film ("The Baroness and the Butler") and two television productions under the name "Jean" (1957 and 1965) were shot with his collaboration. Ladislaus Bus-Fekete was with the playwright and novelist Maria Fagyas married and worked with her on many productions.
Around 1937 the couple moved to the United States, where Bus-Fekete worked successfully as a screenwriter, primarily under the name Leslie Bush-Fekete. He wrote countless story lines and scripts for Hollywood productions, including "Ein Himmlischer Sünder" by Ernst Lubitsch, "Reunion in France" by Jules Dassin (with Joan Crawford and John Wayne) and "A Woman's Heart Never Forgets" (Lydia) by Julien Duvivier (with Merle Oberon and Joseph Cotten). After the war, Fekete also wrote numerous screenplays for television films. Together with Mária Helena Fagyas, he set up the novels "Der verntreute Himmel" and "Der Abituriententag" by Franz Werfel for the stage under the name L. Bush-Fekete. Due to the three spheres of activity of his work (Hungary, German-speaking countries and the USA), Bus-Fekete varied his first and last names many times. So, depending on the occasion, he drew his works as follows: Ladislas Bus-Fekete, Ladislaus Bus-Fekete, Laszlo Bus-Fekete, Leslie Bush-Fekete, L. Bush-Fekete, Ladislaus Bush-Fekete, László Bús-Fekete, Bús Fekete László and Bús-Fekete László. - Director

In 1919 he participated in the work of the musical directorium, for which later a disciplinary procedure was initiated against him, his appointment was declared null and void and he could no longer teach. His isolation came to an end with the international success of Psalmus Hungaricus in 1923 and his musical comedy entitled Hary János became a success the world over in 1926. His musical piece Szekelyfonó was presented in 1932. Further works of Kodaly include: Marosszeki tancok (1927-1930) (Marosszek Dances), Nyari este (1927) (Summer Evening), Galantai táncok (1933) (Galanta Dances), Budavari Te Deum (Buda Te Deum)- to the 250th anniversary of the liberation of Buda (1936), Folszallott a pava (1939) (The Peacock Is Flying) and Concerto (1940). His activity of music history was also of importance, his monograph entitled Hungarian Folk Music was published in 1937. During the Second World War he protected the persecuted but later had to go into hiding himself. He created Missa brevis in 1945. He was involved in the democratic rebirth and became the chairman of the board of directors of the Academy of Music. Between 1946 and 1949 he was the president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Of his work, Czinka Panna was first shown in 1948, Kallai kettos was presented in 1951. Between 1951 and 1967 the first volume of the Treasury of Hungarian Folk Music was published and his views and ideas were manifest in musical education, as well. His work earned him the Kossuth Prize in 1948 and in 1952. He made an important contribution to the study of folklore, music history, music aesthetics, music criticism, as well as to that of literary history, linguistics and the cultivation of the language. He spent his entire life fighting for the musical education of the youth, including the teaching of singing in schools, and the basic function of musical reading and writing as part of the curriculum and the cultivation of choir music based on Hungarian elements. The Kodaly method is today well-known and practised in musical education throughout the world.
