information
This concert by ESMUC students from different specialties is an excellent demonstration of the first and medium-term period from Ligeti’s work (1923-2006). Since its beginning in Hungary much of his music takes the legacy from another of the major Hungarian composers such as Béla Bartók. Ligeti, much like Bartók, explores the intervallic and folk music from Hungary from first avant-garde musical practices. This first period generally dates from the forties and fifties. Later in the sixties starts a second period that fully belongs to the second vanguard with serialism and aleatoric music. An example of this is the concert piece Ramifications that deeply explores one of Ligeti’s contributions to the techniques of the time: micro polyphony. On the other hand Continuum is a good example of the influence that American minimalism from Reich or Riley had on the Hungarian composer’s music.
