| Description: |
An irresistible, elementary force emanates from the eleven pieces of the 'Music Ricercata' composed in 1951-1953. They are Ligeti's experiment in minimalism while he is focussing on one special musical aspect in each piece. No. VI consists of a 7-note pattern and an elegic melody that seems to flow in the stream of time - with one part in the beginning, then rising to a two und three-part tune. This melody is so catchy that Ligeti used it in several later works, too. If you need a catchy tune, you have now found what you were looking for.
