I love hearing the jazz influence in this ... Ligetti is among my favorite 20th-century composers, and hearing him incorporate jazz elements into a composition increases my love for his music ...
György Ligeti completed his Piano Concerto in 1988. It is in five movements, twenty-five minutes in duration, and perhaps the finest concerto from the 1980s. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the composer wrote many successful concertos. In these earlier works, Ligeti was writing extremely dense and dissonant works in a style that utilized micropolyphony, a method of writing he created where numerous independent melodic lines become a larger, sonorous mass of sound. Ligeti had acquired enough listeners and imitators to be at the forefront of the avant-garde. Then in the late 1970s he suffered a heart condition that made him incapable of composing for years. When he returned to health in the 1980s the music he was writing was different, in some ways returning to his original love of Bartók which preceded his period of micropolyphony compositions. Ligeti's Piano Concerto is a super-modern piano concerto, featuring all the knowledge and musicality of a brilliant composer who had carefully absorbed the musical lessons and currents of the twentieth century. It eludes serialism but does not shy completely away from the sonorities associated with it. Ligeti and Boulez were good friends, and Boulez often conducted and recorded Ligeti's. It is interesting that Boulez had once championed a specific kind of avant-garde approach and claimed it to be the only one of value, but became an advocate of one of the very few composers who ignored this mandate completely. The beginning of the Concerto is among the most consonant moments in Ligeti's catalog, spiraling into regions of timbre and rhythmic impetus that have no precedent. It is not regressive or grindingly rigorous, never sounding as though it attempts to fit a new method of composing into an exclusive musical envelope. Other important influences at work here are the piano rolls of Conlon Nancarrow, and fractal mathematics. Clearly, this is synthetic music. Furthermore, Ligeti is not afraid to have a horn solo sail over the burgeoning musical engine of great excitement, even though the idea is unoriginal in theory. In this work, there is very little of a foreground/background duality. The piano steers the ship from within, making its presence not a separate component but rather a vital one. What is really wondrous about this work is its lack of lofty tone. Ligeti here seems jubilant, having a great time, and is well-disposed towards all. Ligeti's Piano Concerto is an excellent piece for introducing the uninitiated to the world of the avant-garde; it is welcoming, warm, and makes a total lack of triviality sound as approachable as a Buster Keaton film.

@@Enigmatic_Music1 How old are you? If you're any older than 18 you should be embarrassed that you're still ignorant enough to think you know everything.
Wonderful piece, but I've always thought it should be titled 5 Pieces for Piano and Orchestra. Like the études, each movement is thrilling on its own, but they don't quite cohere into a unified whole.
Ligeti's singular comment that he was disciple of Laangaard without knowing it is nowhere more in evidence in the other worldly, celestial 2nd movement.
As an ignorant in terms of music that I am, all I can hear is a mess of various instruments at the same and not at the same time. It would be nice to understand why people say this is masterpiece
Daniel Reece Jeez, just because YOU don’t like it means it’s shit. I hate people with that mentality. I don’t care if you hate this piece, it’s still a masterpiece nonetheless.
The fear with Ligeti is that if I listen too often eventually i will grow tired of it. Ten intense years of Brahms proved the point. Oh well there will be other composers by that time. The originality, brilliance, levity and gravity, the show tunes quality, the high modernism, the intense noise and joy and disguised sturm und drang and an ending that is better than a disney ride.
I like this concerto, but I have reservations. A certain 'sameness' is barely avoided from movement to movement. But it has a lot of personality and humor, and with Ligeti, also terror. Much of his early music was rhythmically amorphous. His later music went in the opposite direction to rhythmically distinct.
The rhythmic demands on the ensemble might be even more difficult than physically exhausting demands placed on the pianist... probably very easy to fuck this up

I hate this But I hate it the same way I'd hate a cosmic horror story. It's so incomprehensible yet there's some form of direction the music seems to be following. If the movement starts out loud and gets higher in pitch continuously, like the first movement, that's how it'll be till its end; if it starts out quiet and/or somewhat slow, like in the second movement, for the most part it stays that way, and any loud sounds are intended to stand out There's a clear designs but the intention of that design isn't to simply please the listener, same way an eldritch god can have a will and direction but that doesn't have to be for the benifit of those who observe it. It fills me with some form of fear because I can tell its ordered but I don't understand it, and I think that's the part that people struggle to reconcile with. If people value the music having a direction more than understandable harmony, they'll praise it as if it shows the beauty of a Chopin piece. If they prioritise "normal" harmony, they treat it as if it's a bunch of nonsensical sounds with no meaning whatsoever. I just like listening to this because I actually kinda like the unease it brings, like it's some form of catharsis Thank you for coming to my ted talk
I heard the first few notes and just thought "What the fuck is this?" lol like Ligeti made this and was just like "I mean ig someone will be able to play this at some point"
This is reminiscent of trying to understand theoretical physics without a mathematical foundation in the field. I can only process parts of it and others are irritating. Seems like a piece for composers written by a composer. Nothing wrong with that. But it does limit its audience. Though if one is willing to stay for the entire work he will find accessible moments. To even know who Ligeti is requires some education in the field of music, as is evidenced in the fact that this video provides you his score, which means little to us lay folks. Music Theory at its best? Comments below demonstrate this.
It isn't actually that hard to understand, ligeti's own style is really unique, and sometimes it's hard to get used to it. I recommend you his piano etudes
@@GUILLOM I was once confused by Ligeti's music, but ever since I listened to his piano etudes I understood his music. Now I can't get enough of his music.

i've tried waving my Hand around to the first movement and it actually doesn't seem that hard once you understand the Rhythm the piano is playing. But i guess in real life in front of an actual orchestra that's a completely different world
I think because of all the different metric subdivisions, you would conduct this by giving "big beats" and hope that your orchestra players can subdivide
