Metamorphosis in Music: The Compositions of György Ligeti in the 1950s and 1960sFrom the mid 1950s through the 1960s, Hungarian composer Gyrgy Ligeti went through a remarkable period of stylistic transition, from the emulation of his fellow countryman Bla Bartk to his own individual style at the forefront of the Western European avant garde. Through careful study of the sketches and drafts, as well as analysis of the finished scores, Metamorphosis in Music takes a detailed look at this compositional evolution. Author Benjamin R.
