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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 338g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030856960\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Namoradze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44282938360058,"sku":"9783030856960","price":62.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_c84e7578-b38c-495d-8df1-3c16b448c857.jpg?v=1686916426","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ligetis-macroharmonies-a-graphicalstatistical-analysis-of-book-3-of-the-piano-etudes-9783030856960","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
