Un lavoro maestoso... Di una bellezza inarrivabile. Capolavoro assoluto, niente da dire, niente da obiettare. Mi fa venire voglia di smettere di comporre!
@@elizabethopoussm In music, timbre (= sound colour) is an addition, or colouring, of the structure of the notes, of the patterns that notes create with relationships: the notes have a particular, defined relationship to each other. In these relationships lay the musical meaning of a musical piece. This is demonstrated by playing a piece which is written for orchestra on the piano: its meaning remains intact. It is like a black-and-white photograph of a colourful painting. With sonic art (the art of pure sound patterns), like Atmosphères, the meaning lies in the colours and their patterns as such. You cannot play the piece on the piano while keeping the meaning of the piece intact. The notes merely are the material to create the colourful patterns. if you would change the placing of the notes but more or less around the same range, nothing of the piece is lost. Therefore it has a level of abstraction that music does not have.

What was recorded first: this piece or Day In The Life by The Beatles? The beginning of this piece sure seems to share the elements of the latter's middle section.
The orchestral portions of "A Day in the Life" reflect Lennon and McCartney's interest in the work of avant-garde composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio and John Cage.[43][nb 4] To fill the empty 24-bar middle section, Lennon's request to George Martin was that the orchestra should provide "a tremendous build-up, from nothing up to something absolutely like the end of the world".[46] McCartney suggested having the musicians improvise over the segment.[37] To allay concerns that classically trained musicians would be unable to do this, Martin wrote a loose score for the section.[47] Using the rhythm implied by Lennon's staggered intonation on the words "turn you on",[48] the score was an extended, atonal crescendo that encouraged the musicians to improvise within the defined framework.[37] The orchestral part was recorded on 10 February 1967 in Studio One at EMI Studios,[49] with Martin and McCartney conducting a 40-piece orchestra.[50] The recording session was completed at a total cost of £367 (equivalent to £6,710 in 2019)[51] for the players, an extravagance at the time.[52] Martin later described explaining his score to the puzzled orchestra: What I did there was to write ... the lowest possible note for each of the instruments in the orchestra. At the end of the twenty-four bars, I wrote the highest note ... near a chord of E major. Then I put a squiggly line right through the twenty-four bars, with reference points to tell them roughly what note they should have reached during each bar ... Of course, they all looked at me as though I were completely mad. from wikipedia
I guess not but not sure. There's a Ligeti documentary on youtube where he tells about making electronic music and not being satisfied with the sound that came out of the speakers, so he brought the principles to the orchestra.
2:05 That emergent chord is incredible
I know, it's always been my favorite part, along with the climbing piccolos and then the heavy bass drop :)
I've been trying to recreate this sound but to no avail 😢
@@JR_Productions816 Just another testament to Ligeti's genius I guess
That’s what I absolutely love about ligeti. You hear all the dissonance, but all of a sudden, a beautiful chord emerges.

The first chord always gives me goosebumps

The jaw dropping thing is that all this huge complexity is entirely heard and felt. Nothing to add, nor to remove. How can a human ear achieve this?

Very ingenious sound art. The notes are furnishing the timbres of the patterns, instead of the other way around as with music.
Could you elborate on what you mean by this?

@@JohnBorstlap I see thank you! I'm learning composition in college right now, so I got to hold a score in my hands and I see exactly what you mean
Monster score! Fabulous piece!
Unbelievably beautiful. A masterpiece.
one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written
Chapeaux bas!
conducting level: over 9000
more like subdivision level
it is so satisfying towatch

The Beatles might be culturally chic, but finally old hat!
Legeti composed this in 1961
