About this product
Product Information
Metamorphosis in Music examines the evolution of compositional technique in Ligeti's works of the 1950s and 1960s. Through careful analysis of sketches, drafts, and finished scores, it reveals complex influences on the composer's creative process as he moved from the folk-inspired world of Bartók to the forefront of the avant-garde.

Reviews
"Levy points out that Ligeti was not only a composer of music for traditional instruments but also composed several electronic works and was considered somewhat of an authority on electronic music. Levy gives many examples of Ligeti's music and, more important, the sketches and thought processes Ligeti went through to create new works. The music examples show traditional and 21st-century notational techniques, and it is refreshing to see the sketches ofLigeti's music and the unique way he notated his ideas for musical compositions." --Choice, "Levy points out that Ligeti was not only a composer of music for traditional instruments but also composed several electronic works and was considered somewhat of an authority on electronic music.

Received the magazine as pictured and described! It was a bit delayed due to a bad winter storm in my area, however the seller was quick to communicate back with me when it hadn't arrived on time. They sent me the tracking number to keep an eye out for it and even offered to inquire into the package for me if it didn't arrive by a certain date. Overall a great experience by the seller :)
