Hungarian composer György Ligeti (28 May 1923 – 12 June 2006) was one of the dominating figures of the late twentieth century avant-garde.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ligeti Splits


Though Ligeti’s work is intense,

And his textures are frightfully dense,

He musters emotion

From a cluster-filled ocean

Where each part is a piece of the sense.
