GYORGY LIGETI - ATMOSPHERES (1960/1) Gyorgy Sandor Ligeti, Transylvania 1923 - Austria 2006. Gyorgy Ligeti was, along with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Boulez, one of a group of composers that revolutionised postwar music. Perhaps his most notable, certainly his most famous, piece was Atmospheres from 1960. It is the best known of his micropolyphony/soundscape pieces. This work featured, along with Ligeti's Requiem and Lux Aeterna, on the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. [ More Detail ]

McVoy + D. Feurzeig)In 1982 I decided to stop playing the "crisis" game. It goes without saying that i am always - subconsciously - a creature of fashion; hence the half ironic, half deep serious (4th movement!) conservative/postmodern Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano, in which I used a false quotation from Beethoven's "Les Adieux" Sonata as a germinal motive and as an "Hommage à Brahms". The traditional forms of all four movements are obvious - and I quoted these formal patterns as a sort of rebellion against the established conventions of the avant-garde. Yet my protest, my desire to be "different", was not aimed at the slogans of "new simplicity". "Minimalism", or "neo-Expressionism" (the trio is expressive, but not expressionistic). The trio cannot be pigeonholed into any neat stylstic category; it has odd angles and trick floors that do not fit in anywhere.Furthermore, there are various layers in this music which, taken all together, completely rule out any "postmodern" compositional conception. For one, it has an emotional layer (especially in the fourth movement) which cannot be described in terms of traditional categories. Nostalgia for a homeland that no longer exists? Then there is a layer of cultural connotations - melted together, in the second movement, to produce imaginary, synthetic folklore of Latin America and Balkan elements. Samba and rumba are based on asymmetrical meters, as is the aksak (Turkish: limping) dance rhythms of the Balkans. Exoticism? Certainly not; and not folk music, either. Nor is there any folk material in the fourth movement, though there are allusions to the gypsy music which affected me so strongly as a child. In the march section of the third movement there is a gesture which in contour suggest Beethoven's scherzi, but without a true quotation. The pseudo-Beethoven gesture is then subsumed by a phaseshifting process in the manner of Steve Reich. The fourth movement, as a "passacaglia", is based on descending chromaticism, a cliché from the Baroque period. But all of these layers and elements only camouflage a musical reality of an entirely different nature, which remains indecipherable. The intonation system of the Trio is heterogeneous. The piano plays as it is tuned: by definition, tempered. The violin, tuned in pure fifths, deviates from the tempered tuning considerably - as always with chamber music for strings and piano. In a tonal violin/piano sonata of the Classical or Romantic period, the violinist tries to match the tuning of the piano to some degree (at least in the slow movements). Though this always remains an approximation, it is part of the character of the genre. In my Trio, however, I have taken the technical possibilities of the valve horn to its very limits, and not just in terms of virtuosity. (Because I have never truly mastered any instrument myself, my secret ambition is to compose absolutely idiomatically for all instruments.). Thus I did not really write for a valve horn in F and B-Flat, but rather for a collection of natural horns. The sound would be much more beautiful on a true horn, but the horn player would then require a short pause to change crooks; as there isnot sufficient time for this, I wrote the piece for valve horn. Nevertheless, I was thinking in terms of natural horns pitched in various keys, and I indicate these in the score. In this way, mostly untempered overtones occur, which tend to throw the violinist's fingers off their mark. This is intentional, part of the riddle of this non-manifest musical language.http://www.amazon.com/LIGETI-NEUNECKER-GAWRILOFF-ZIMMERMANN-CHAMBER/dp/B00000BZX7/ [ More Detail ]
