===Move to Berlin=== In 1921 or 1922, owing to political unrest in Budapest, the quartet moved to [[Berlin]] where the group developed a large repertoire but received only mixed reviews. In 1925 the quartet debuted in [[London]] and signed a recording contract with [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]], making recordings at [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] Studio B at Hayes and the [[Queen's Hall|Queen's Small Hall]] .<ref>Alan Kelly: The Gramophone Company Limited [[His Master's Voice (British record label)|His Master's Voice]] Matrix Series prefixed Bb/Cc Recorded by Various Experts for Head Office 15 March 1921 to 31 December 1930.

He was offered the post of principal second violin, but refused it at that time. The other members of the quartet were furious because if he had left, they would have found it very difficult to find and rehearse a replacement player in time for the new season. In the ensuing row, Pogany resigned.<ref>Brandt pp 38–40</ref> He then emigrated to America, and this time decided to join the Cincinnati Symphony and teach at the local conservatory. In 1929, he moved on to the [[New York Philharmonic Orchestra]] under [[Arturo Toscanini]] as principal second violin, remaining there until his retirement in 1958.<ref name=B62/>
