Flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, horn, tenor trombone, harpsichord, piano, celesta, 2 violins, viola, violoncello, double bass.

Those familiar with Ligeti's vocal compositions will be surprised by this seemingly simple and plain musical miniature after a poem by Hölderlin. Even though composed during the same period as the Nonsense Madrigals with their labyrinthine rhythms and their novel diatonic harmonies, the piece harks back to the 19th century as far as Schubert in its use of traditional means to convey the striking atmosphere and mellow summery mood of the poem.

Flute, oboe and orchestra.

Facsimile edition.

The famous Hungarian composer fills his pieces with skillful, fascinating rhythms that shifts accents and speeds. The breathtaking disorder and turbulence of the keys in Désordre shows us Ligeti's enthusiasm for central African music, which would become his signature.

Ligeti's piano études are some of the most splendid works ever composed for this instrument. Every ambitious player is eventually going to examine these milestones of contemporary music literature. The musical community had to wait for new piano works from the pen of Ligeti for quite a long time; now this new volume has been published. From 1997-2001, the Magician of Sound wrote new études which pose challenges to the pianist that are revealed only at second glance.

When Ligeti taught composition at the University of Stockholm in the 1960s, he met his famous Swedish fellow composer Hilding Rosenberg (1892-1985). Ligeti wrote this musical greeting on the occasion of Rosenberg's 90th birthday. The little piece is easy to play, composed idiomatically for the instruments. It shows that Ligeti, like Bach, Schumann and Bartók, was able to write easily playable and at the same time tonally convincing music in his personal style.

These early piano works (1951-53) of the famous Hungarian composer where developed from experiments with Mali tables, structures of rhythm and sound, to construct a new musical way of speaking. The second work is featured in the Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut.

Three arias from the opera Le Grand Macabre for coloratura soprano and piano.
