Ligeti's Laments

Nostalgia, Exoticism, and the Absolute

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ligeti's Laments provides a critical analysis of the composer's works, considering both the compositions themselves and the larger cultural implications of their reception. Bauer both synthesizes and challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding the composer's long career and uses the theme of lament to inform a discussion of specific musical topics, including descending melodic motives, passacaglia and the influence of folk music.
