Even though this is modernist it still delivers a salient idea and has shape. So much of the academic music these days is formless and without the same innovation. But then again, most composers aren’t Ligeti. He was one of a kind.

1:50 / 14:21 György Ligeti entered to my musical radar when I was a kid and watched "2001, A Space Odyssey" the amazing film by Stanley Kubrick, that is my favorite film. In that film I was able to enjoy pieces by Maestro Ligeti such as Atmospheres, Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs & Orchestra and Lux Aeterna. Since then, 50 years ago, I was hooked with the music of the great György Ligeti! Thanks for uploading this piece. Greetings from Mexico City!

It is unfortunately a decently large score, so some of the detail is hard to see. To the best of my knowledge, this is the best format to display scores on youtube. I don't think it's a resolution problem so much as it is a size problem; the engraving is pretty crisp at 1080p but not super intelligible at this size, and I can't imagine any good way to split up a full page score to magnify it. But if you have any suggestions I'll take them into consideration!

One day, after school had officially ended, I was walking from my school’s locker room up to the atrium, which is where we were meeting for track practice. There’s a small hallway staircase with doors at both ends, and when I reached the top, I opened the doorway to be greeted by a wall of sound from all the voices from within. The lights in the room weren’t on, but it didn’t matter because there were large glass windows towards the top of the high ceiling that filled the room with natural light from the cloudy day outside. The sound, while a surprising change from the quietness of the staircase, was not unpleasant. The room was filled with high school teenagers who were all talking to each other, yet none of them were talking over each other or yelling to be heard. Everyone was in their own small groups, close to each other, talking to each other, with each group spaced a decent bit apart as to not crowd the room. There were no strained voices, only sound, built up of the different stories and lives and personalities of all of these people, all of it echoing throughout the room culminating in a warm, somehow pleasant sensation. I don’t know how to truly describe the feeling, only that it was an interesting moment to feel that whole new experience in a place that one might expect to feel mildly annoyed at a mere “background distraction”.

It's funny, I had a similar experience once as a child. During 17th of May (Constitution Day in Norway) festivities at my school one of the classrooms had been converted to a cafeteria. 20 years later I still distinctly remember that warm wall of sound pouring out the door of fifty odd adults casually talking and eating. Every voice blended together into a constant, incomprehensible "blablablabla." Then my dad's Irish folk band, after having had a short break, started playing Mrs. McGrath in the hallway up the stairs.
