Gyrgy Ligeti's Cultural Identities by Amy Bauer (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Gyrgy Ligeti's Cultural Identities by Amy Bauer, Márton Kerékfy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Since György Ligetis death in 2006, there has been a growing acknowledgement of how central he was to the late twentieth-century cultural landscape. This collection is the first book devoted to exploring the composers life and music within the context of his East European roots, revealing his dual identities as both Hungarian national and cosmopolitan modernist. Contributors explore the artistic and socio-cultural contexts of Ligetis early works, including composition and music theory, the influence of East European folk music, notions of home and identity, his ambivalent attitude to his Hungarian past and his references to his homeland in his later music. Many of the valuable insights offered profit from new research undertaken at the Paul Sacher Foundation, Basel, while also drawing on the knowledge of long-time associates such as the composers assistant, Louise Duchesneau. The contributions as a whole reveal Ligetis thoroughly cosmopolitan milieu and values, and illuminate why his music continues to inspire new generations of performers, composers and listeners.

Her monograph Ligetis Laments: Nostalgia, Exoticism and the Absolute (2011) provides a critical analysis of the composers works, considering both the compositions themselves and the larger cultural implications of their reception.Márton Kerékfy is Research Fellow at the Budapest Bartók Archives, Editor of the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition and Editor-in-Chief at Editio Musica Budapest.
