  • The first 3/4 of the piece is excellent. Small technical errors near the end which you pointed out. That being said, it's still an excellent performance. And at this point in time, the best youtube recording of this particular ligeti etude available.

    How long did this take you to get under your fingers?

  • I learned it (rather, had to learn it) in about a week, after which I played it in a recital. This recording is from a while afterwards though, maybe around two years, when I looked back at in and re-learned it for fun.

  • strange...the rythmical perception sounds like quantisized...even the gestures look odd sometimes..look and listen twice...since played on a digital instrument, I bet this was recorded with midi-interface and then the speed was increased with some 50 to 100 percent ?...

  • it's actually an upright Yamaha piano, recorded with a really bad webcam mic... but i'll take it sounding quantized as a compliment :-)

  • my goodness.... left hand??? wowsers!

    Such a wonderful progression.

    you're brilliant, I can hear every hour of practice!

    Got any recommendations for a learner?

  • Thanks alot! Its a really fun piece to learn...

    At 0:45 Ligeti says that the accents on the repeated scale (the 3-2-3 rhythm) are just for synchronization, but I kinda like it better when you can hear the tension between the two hands rhythmically (especially the lontano part at 1:45, where the melody is 3+2+2=7), but its crazy hard to do. Anyways, good luck with it :-)
