Description:

‚As if one enters a dark room from bright sunlight and gradually takes in the colours and contours.‘ (György Ligeti). In this work, written by the prominent Hungarian composer in 1967, it is particularly piano and pianissimo sounds that hover and glide in a suspenseful atmosphere for eleven minutes. All parts are subject to a process of constant change. Ligeti describes the piece as ‚a very complex, very soft structure, with many pianissimo tutti passages, with ramified movements of the parts‘.
