My goodness 11:19 to the end is just so beautiful. This piece is so different from his mature style but you can hear his mature style just trying to break free. I love Ligeti's music so much.
i don't know. i just don't feel like the development of style from this reserved classical-romantic-ness into the Ligeti Ligeti-ness of the ending just doesn't do it for me. it was probably cooler in 1951
