Ligeti was born in Romania (not in Hungary). By the Treaty of Trianon (1920) that part (Transylvania) of the former Hungarian Kingdom (Austro-Hungarian Empire) was part of Romania. So technically, he was born into a Hungarian family in Romania.

Yes, indeed. As a Romanian, that opening remark kind of hurt.

Love, love, love the music of Ligeti. I don't believe he is languishing in obscurity. I have three box sets of his material all on well known record labels including DG, Sony, and Teldec. The 5 disc set on Teldec is a great place to get acquainted with his music.

Fascinating, what an interesting composer. Thanks for sharing, Ligeti seems like the type of artist I'm going to love learning more about

@johnappleseed8369 7 лет назад

Finally!!! This is gonna be awesome, I love Ligeti! :)))))

@alessandroseravalle8674 Год назад

One of my all time favourite composers...thank you!!!

@sebastianzaczek 6 лет назад

3:29 little correction: The last movement is an Arrangement of the 10th (Second to last) piece from musica ricercata, not the 11th (last) one. Other than that, Great video! 😄

@mitodrumisra8972 3 года назад

Hey there Mr. Little. Thank you for posting this! Gyorgy Ligeti is one of those composers who should really be pulled out from obscurity... P.S. - Do any of Ligeti's early works exist? I mean, he left some of his compositions while fleeing from Hungary in 1956, so... If so, which pieces are those?

@ClassicalNerd 3 года назад

Plenty exist! The most famous are probably his first String Quartet, the Sonata for Solo Cello, and _Musica Ricercata._ All are pieces that he wrote in Hungary (an era of his life he called the "prehistoric Ligeti").

i m learning his devils staircase, man is it tough but also fun...how the heck could he visualize the notes at that crazy fast tempo...genius.

@Brandon55638 Год назад

I really love Ligeti's later works because I always get inspired by the way he uses traditional chords, all-interval ideas (simple motifs that contain all the intervals i.e. in Ligeti's Horn Trio) and the weird quasi-diatonic constructs that he makes out of those motifs (as in the Nonsense Madrigals). The main "all-interval idea" of the Horn Trio contains A-Ab (minor second) B-A (major second) Eb-C (minor third) G-B (major third) Eb in the second chord to Ab in the third (perfect fourth) and Eb-A (tritone) I also like the indirect reference Ligeti made to Ockeghem and Gesualdo in near the end of "The Alphabet".

@lvb1770 Год назад

I wonder if he composed the piano etudes at the piano or if it was done at the composers desk?

@brendaboykin3281 3 года назад

Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹

@QueensWino 2 года назад

Thanks to this channel I checked out Ligeti’s horn trio; if it has romanticism in it then I have a hole in the head!

@ClassicalNerd 2 года назад

Compared to a lot _else_ Ligeti wrote? Absolutely.

@juanborjas6416 7 лет назад

Nice video. You should make a video about Roslavets.

@ClassicalNerd 7 лет назад

I couldn't agree more! I'll put it in the request queue.

@papanimes 5 лет назад

Who are you talking about in 6:20 ? I cant understand

@ClassicalNerd 5 лет назад

Johannes Ockeghem.

@me_is_hobo 2 года назад

Can you do a video of James Macmillan?

@ClassicalNerd 2 года назад

James is still smack-dab in the middle of his career, so I doubt my ability to make a proper, holistic retrospective.

@jdiwkall Год назад

Is it just me or does Ligeti look a lot like actor Klaus Kinski?

@tolower486 5 лет назад

Can you do Scarlatti?

@ClassicalNerd 5 лет назад

Which one?

Wherever he's buried, I'd imagine.

@annakimborahpa 2 года назад

So Gyorgy escaped Ligeti split from Hungary during the failed 1956 revolution? Too bad he didn't emigrate to Italy where he could have bestowed his last name upon a new pasta dish that mirrored the goulash texture of his compositions.
