I am most impressed that Mei went to the trouble of learning these pieces. That was not an easy thing to do.

These are awfully good. Sublime, invocatory, utterly pianstic. They night remind one of Sorabji. But they are pithy, make their point and don't stay around too long.

No. 1 Section A 0:00 (getting in to) Section B 1:39 No. 2 Intro 3:25 Section A 4:13 Section B 4:38 Section C 5:29 No. 3 Thicker texture 9:23

Wow. A fantastic discovery for me. Beautiful performance too.

Brilliant pieces, and wonderful pianist! I have discovered Unsuk Chin through a composer friend, and really love her music. These pieces just bring out wonderful sonorities and layers in the piano. Her pieces have a definite structure and ideas. Thank you!

I mean, it is clear she uses harmonics of C in the first etude, with F# and Bb all over the first measures

The harmony is mostly an amalgamation of overtone and whole tone harmonies with occasional triads punctuating as with most of her work. Beyond that, her treatment of form, rhythm, and melody is largely conventional' Asymmetrical 'limping' rhythmic groups in multiples of 2 and 3 that isn't really any more radical than what Stravinsky was doing nearly a century before, melodic lines that often expand arithmetically that recall Messiaen's 'asymmetrical growth processes'; a sectional approach to form that's mostly articulated in tempo contrasts, etc. etc. I haven't encountered any truly profound analyses of her music, but as far as I can tell, if you study Ligeti's music from about the 70s onward (which there are a number of great studies on), then you should be in the ballpark for understanding how to write like this.

@@prepcoin_nl4362 these things are true, but I think she hearkens some things from the impressionists, Debussy and also driving rhythms and repeated motives like you say, Stravinsky, however, also Bartok I think, I think that S. Wang does a fabulous jobs of getting orchestral type sounds from the piano~very imaginative, rhythmically so impressive! Yes she studied with Ligeti. I think she really has developed her own sound. She writes really well for the piano (helped by this amazing pianist!)

She loves quintuplets!

Ligeti was her composition teacher and some of her earlier pieces were actually written as assignments from Ligeti himself. So, it would be surprising if her earlier works diverged much from Ligeti’s.
