- More about Ligeti's Macroharmonies: A Graphical-Statistical Analysis of Book 3 of the Piano Etudes
The third and final book of György Ligeti's piano etudes is a significant departure from his previous musical output, and this monograph is the first dedicated study of these works. It investigates them through a novel lens of statistical-graphical analysis, revealing their compositional uniqueness and broader questions regarding the perception of stability in musical texture. The analytical techniques developed here are a powerful tool for investigating macroharmonic stability that can be applied to a wide range of repertoire beyond these works.

In the third and final book of his iconic piano etudes, György Ligeti takes a bold and innovative approach, marking a significant departure from the rest of his musical output. This monograph stands as the first dedicated study of these remarkable capstone works, delving into their composition through a novel lens of statistical-graphical analysis. This comprehensive examination unveils the unique ways in which Ligeti navigates between tonality and atonality, a central concept in his late style. By employing nearly 200 graphical illustrations and providing a detailed commentary, this study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms through which Ligeti constructs structures and narratives, emphasizing the role of processes related to broader scale areas (or "macroharmony"). The analytical techniques developed herein are a powerful tool for exploring macroharmonic stability, which has applications beyond these specific works.
This book is designed for advanced music theorists, musicologists, performers, and mathematicians who seek to deepen their understanding of these intricate piano etudes. It offers valuable insights into Ligeti's compositional techniques, macroharmonic stability, and the broader implications of these works in the realm of music theory and performance.
