Ligeti Hungarian Rock for cembalo(1978)

[liszt141]

Ligeti is groovy'.

[pondwatcher]

This is what I like to listen to when it's a full moon!

[erhantanman]

come on.. no need to be that fast, we can not hear the exact rhytmes and notes, we "have to" hear because of the nature of this music..

[kohoutekcorporation]

This would make a fairly solid mathrock tune.

Ligeti = the man.

[basso0on]

sounds like it's in 4... shouldn't

[uzaysamet]

Dexter Wansel is much better=)

[westmaaron]

i don't even understand what i just heard...

[winnerdoozy]

@westmaaron how great is not understanding!!

[hizonglol]

weird sheet. I think...

[metalheadnick555]

This totally sounds like something from Emerson Lake and Palmer.

[ekrenek]

Just love Gyorgy when he rocks out!

[DarkZekeX]

I love the time signature for the left hand XD

2+2+3 +2

4 4 4 4

[DarkZekeX]

@DarkZekeX actually... those are all supposed to be over 8.... oops

[SalMessina1]

Grande versatilità d'un grande Maestro!

Grazie! :)

[coolcat555555]

i love this more than words can describe.

[erhantanman]

Unneccesseraly fast tempo ... we can not understand the true rhytmes..

[metalljac]

@erhantanman Vivacissimo Molto Ritmico

[erhantanman]

@metalljac we can not understand exact music here .. i'm talking with aware about score. i have better recordings of it. i may play too ahah :)

[goniochromism]

slightly unusual sound for a harpsichord. i'd be interested in knowing the specific kind used.

[blackus99]

@goniochromism it's just the lute thing on one of the manuals

[somepianist]

@blackus99 the "Lute thing" is the buff, also simply know as the mute.

[gingermontreal]

super !

[SidewalkFrequencies]

what a strange and wonderful beauty this has.

[geoffrey1001]

really great

[minorSi]

Outstanding!! Its like a doors mix.. with a strange rythmical variation. Something between break on through n light my fire.. and the "largo" its very close to asturias legenda largo

[HiHatHor]

genious

[RockBirdAMV]

omfg :|

[AleAgosto1973]

Grande Ligeti, gracias por dejar tu música para que podamos disfrutarla.

[chomskyFTW]

The left hand part is really repetitive, but I really appreciate the melody, skill, and mood displayed here. It's certainly outside my comfort zone, but hey, not bad at all!

[babyfreshpony]

Harpsichord is the new synthesizer. Get hip. Get harp. The old is new. Hurrah!

[kiasmus]

Bach + The abominable Dr. Phibes = Ligeti

[julieventoura8]

Elisabeth Chojnacka is the greatest performer for the harpsichord in our century she is the inspiration for the composers and a living legeng for us thank. you Elisabeth!!!!!

[Chibichimera]

I'm not getting any vibe from this. The beat sounds like a broken record, and the melody seems like it was taken from a different piece of music entirely. Somewhat disconcerting, and VERY distracting.

[reinpost]

Try listening to some Keith Emerson for reference.

[reinpost]

Oh and that "melody" is no doubt Bach's Chromatic Fantasy, indeed a difference of about 250 years.

[entheomycophagist]

@Chibichimera

Haha. You don't get it.

[pepijagarzekje]

@Chibichimera That's the problem with you - music CONSUMERS. You don't ever bother to really LISTEN to the music, just leave it in the background to make noise. As far as you're concerned, it could be mice fucking in the background.

Most of NON-popmusic compositions actually require your ATTENTION, so saying this piece is "very distracting" (lol) just shows you don't actually know HOW to listen to music. What a pity.

[Chibichimera]

@pepijagarzekje you admit yourself that this man's compositions are to be really listened to, and as such I must say that my observations were superficial.

However, it appears you've made an assumption of my character and experiences based on one comment regarding one piece of music. I'll draw no conclusions from that, as I've only seen one comment of yours.

I suppose I'll give the reference reinpost has pointed me towards some listening.

[OriginellerUserName]

@Chibichimera What is it distracting you from? Ironing? Watching tv?

[japanesesweet]

Ligeti says of this piece that it's only pastiche....well,I don't care-I think it's one of his most characteristic works. My favourite piece by him.

[juarjum]

Bossa Nova!

[MonoCabron123]

weird shit. I kinda like it.

[BachRocks314]

This is so funny. I love Ligeti so much. A great performance.

[krrainio]

This sound like ambient.

[kuglepen64]

This is the best rendition on disk.

[lorenzarthur91]

It's somewhat funny how modern composers have rediscovered this age - old instrument due to its excentic sound. This piece has a very strong drivining force, very nice...

[franzleone]

funky!!

[chriswales19]

What a wonderfully unique version ! Elisabeth never ceases to amaze me

[peterlunow]

swings!!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Thanks!! Awesome!

[deferrerre]

great work!
