"Sandwiched between the performances, the composer gives a brief and (if you’re into this sort of thing) entertaining explanation of the composition techniques used to create the Études. In his humble, humorous way, Ligeti - with assistance from Banfield - makes the advanced musical theory underlying these dense, polyrhythmic pieces seem simple and even approachable. In a refreshingly casual style, the composer reminds us that even the most advanced technique and theory, like the most advanced technologies, are tools, not ends in themselves."

Any chance to hear him speak is a treasure. What an imagination he had - one of a kind!

So great to hear him discuss his music, especially the etudes! What a gift! Thank you.

I love the thing he says about “it isn’t really an end”. When I played it I was asked many times before the performance (in rehearsal, audition etc) : “Is that your whole piece? Or is there another part?”

2:20 this scale is actually one of Messiaen's Modes of Limited Transposition

Is scale with shifts based on tritone?

@@fredericfrancoischopin6971 It's like its built from 2 tetrachords divided by a tritone based on the first tone. So kinda yes.

@@fredericfrancoischopin6971 Modes 4 - 7 are all built on tritone transpositions. In this case, it's Mode 6 and as Ligeti phrases it, it's built on the tetrachord (0245) + its tritone transposition. Also modes 1 and 2 can also be described as tritone transpositions (a consequence of 6 being produced by both the 2 and 3 cycles.) So really, Mode 3 is the only unique mode in that regard being based on major 3rds.
