Description
Ligeti was born in Transylvania, Romania, in 1923. He began studying music at an early age, and he quickly developed a passion for both classical music and folk music. In 1941, he enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, where he studied composition with Ferenc Farkas.
Ligeti’s early music was influenced by the work of Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, two of Hungary’s most famous composers. However, Ligeti soon developed his own unique style, which is characterized by its use of complex rhythms, unusual harmonies, and extended techniques.
In the 1950s, Ligeti began to experiment with electronic music. He was one of the first composers to use electronic instruments in his work, and he quickly became a pioneer in the field of electronic music. Ligeti’s electronic music is often characterized by its use of dense textures, complex rhythms, and unusual sounds.
In the 1960s, Ligeti began to write music for film and television. He is best known for his work on the soundtrack for the film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Ligeti’s film music is often characterized by its use of suspenseful and atmospheric textures.
Ligeti continued to compose music until his death in 2006. He left behind a legacy of groundbreaking and influential work that continues to be performed and studied by musicians and scholars around the world.
