Since Gyoergy Ligeti's 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 composer's 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 Ligeti's 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 composer's assistant, Louise Duchesneau. The contributions as a
whole reveal Ligeti's thoroughly cosmopolitan milieu and values,
and illuminate why his music continues to inspire new generations
of performers, composers and listeners.
