I love this one, especially since Ligeri uses this melody again in the haunting second movement of his violin concerto

Indeed I’ve always felt this piece had a 3D feeling when listening to it, stunning. A genius composer

[@vhego]

Plus: it’s funny how such an advanced piece is actually still making use of Bach’s counterpoint

"Ligeti, already in the fifties, interested in other dimensions in music." It is this re-invention of music that I so much adore and admire in Ligeti. And Aimard one of his finest interpreters, of course.

when i was practicing this piece, i was playing other pieces like a bach prelude or a chopin nocturne over the left hand.

Wow, this is content! Thanks *so* much!

Thank you for the analysis. It's my favorite Ligeti's piece, a masterpiece.

Thank you.

People hear the 'Requiem' (or even 'Atmosphere's) when they watch '2001' of 'Lontano' in 'The Shining' and many immediately decide they should steer clear of Ligeti (which is a pity, because along with Penderecki's 'Threnody for...', the Requiem is one of the most harrowing pieces of music yet composed...and what is music to be if not to thrust to the extremities of all experience? It's also a bit hypocritical because for most lay people - me included - those films were their first exposure to this genius), but his 'juvenile' piece, 'Musica ricercata' is a testament to the simple beauty he could achieve with the polyrhythm of No. 7, some of the settings of Hungarian songs and the icy micro-polyphony of 'Lux aeterna' Why he isn't regarded with more conviction as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century I'll never know.

Great analysis Pierre, what kind of exercises do you recommend me to study on my quest to dominate this song, I tend to synchrone (6/4) after tiring my hand from 7/4

[@Autostade67]

ARgh - I should proofread - "(or even 'Atmospheres') when they watch '2001 OR 'Lontano'..."
