I am a pianist, and at first I was very confident that I would be able to this piece. As soon as the music reached 10:39ish I gave that hope up for a few more years.
This piece should have been a tribute to Legeti's countryman Bela Bartok instead of Brahms. Some of the piano chords sound like they belong to Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion & Celeste". The Bartok influence is striking.
If any of you intrepid listeners (I am so glad you exist!) are truly interested in the historical underpinnings of music like this I suggest viewing "Bernstein's Harvard Lecture # 5 from the "Unanswered Question" series . Amazon carries it
+whatayawant You can have them both. One enhances the other. When I smoke, I can "get" a piece of music much faster than when I don't. It's a beautiful thing! I played French Horn in High School and now wish I had been able to keep it up. I would so love to be playing music like this.
I had just been thinking about the French horn and it has such a pure sound to it,that's about the best I can describe it.I've never really listened to any music on here at all,too busy with online games.But I'll have to try it the next time I get stoned (in about 18 hours I'd guess).
LOL! Thanks for the reply. I love my music, but I also get distracted by all the interesting things to look at on the internet. Enjoy your high, and your music. It all sounds great with weed!
I've been paying attention to how music "sounds" while I'm stoned and I don't really notice it sounding better.It's hard to describe how it does sound while stoned,it's almost as if the music has become more clear.It's like listening to an old 45 speed record with a cheap player and then listening to it on a high end stereo.Like I said,it's hard to describe.
whatayawant Yes. That's exactly what I was talking about. It does become much more clear. You hear and pick up things you never heard before - all things that were already there, but now you become much more sensitive to the music. If it's the first time you've heard a piece, you are more aware of everything that is going on and you can fall in love with certain pieces on first hearing much more easily.
lol, I love it when they pause and look at each other and know the exact millisecond when to start. The last part gets kinda dense, wheres the score? :3
I know. It's very disconcerting at first, but give it some time - once your years get used to it, it starts to make sense in an intuitive but inexplicable way. Try also do read up on Ligeti's ideas behind his odd tuning decisions if you can. He's very persuasive and always interesting. I'll try to find some links later for you when I have some more time.
It's really good performance of that "out-of-tune" or rather "in-more-than-one-tunnigs" sounds. How to get it on CD? I'm looking for it now. Please help me, and add more details in description under the film!
Dracula!!! Hauntingly beautiful. I dont know how to describe it. It is neither minimalist, nor baroque. Probably just incredibly disruptive. It makes everything else look so easy, cliched, and ordinary.
Yep i did that. but serioussly "i hate such out-of-tune sound that horn makes". I thought a componist should have the knowledge of the instrumental aspects, and not spitting weird comments around youtube. :)
Look, I know Ligeti used such out-of-tune effects frequently in his late opus. Hamburg concerto, Viola sonata, for example. Sorry, if you like such sound and I don't doesn't make you a better person.
I've been listening to this for years, and it has filled my life with joy. This is the real music. I couldn't be more grateful to Mr. Legeti.
First rate musicianship and a great score by the incomparable Gyorgy Ligeti.
Lovely film, thanks for posting this. Wonderful playing of a moving composition by Ligeti.
nice horn playing - beautiful tone and agility
Incredible performance of an extremely demanding piece. Note that the same group also performed the Brahms (to which the Ligeti is an Hommage).
Very nice. Zora the magnificent!
THis work is a turnpoint in the work of LIgeti. it is hauntigly beautiful.
Gérard Begni You are full of shit
Amazing interpretation!
Enchanted music !
A lot of thanks
this is just amazing! (like the most of ligeti's music!)
Wonderful performance!
thank you. this is fantastic.

10:39
what a brilliant horn player!
I'm so gay for her.
Bravo Zora saludos desde Peru
tre musicisti fantastici
this is intense!
thank you....this will help me in my studies into this style.......i love this btw
three making a beautiful Triangle
It would be interesting to know the process the composer used to composing the music.
Dracula is alive!!! Zora Slokar plays superb. Beautiful sound.

Another performance where the performers are wearing all black and the page turner decides to show off her new red dress. Love it.

Such beautiful music,it dropped my stress level down to 0.Or maybe it's because of the weed I smoked.

To bad Ligeti and Zappa didn't do an album together ... ;-)
+Breeze Smith You are so right about that!

Great performance, but why on earth does it end there?!?
what's all this talk about "out of tune"? Equal temperament is out of tune.
A key work in XXth or XXIth century music.. Back to home which will never be home again.
excellent comment
7:18 Fanfares :)
that page turner lurking in the shadows like she's about to slit the pianist's throat + this music = basically a horror movie
Damn, it cuts off before the Passacaglia...
So childish insults is the best you can do. Well done!
I didn't know Dick from third rock from the sun played violin
would make nice background music in a fancy restaurant
Yep i did that. but serioussly "i hate such out-of-tune sound that horn makes". I thought a componist should have the knowledge of the instrumental aspects, and not
spitting weird comments around youtube. :)
a bit abrupt at the end!
Hard to play!
would make nice background music in a funeral
i'm so gay for the hornist
Please have mercy and leave Brahms out of this.
Look, I know Ligeti used such out-of-tune effects frequently in his late opus. Hamburg concerto, Viola sonata, for example. Sorry, if you like such sound and I don't doesn't make you a better person.
this is one weird peice
Very Jewish
If music is supposed to evoke emotions and feelings, I now know how Ligeti felt when he had a migraine and diarrhea at the same time. Feh!!!
I know it's on purpose, but I hate such out-of-tune sound that horn makes. It burns my brains.
This is so Bad, it makes deaf children cry. This guy is No musician to me
its not for everyone man, no worries
holy crap this music is incredible, how could you say that?? your loss, for sure.
