Etude No 16, Book3 “Pour Irina” (Ligeti)
Movements
i Andante con espressione, rubato, molto legato, ii Allegro con moto, sempre legato, iii Allegro vivace – Molto vivace
Notes
The Hungarian composer György Ligeti composed a cycle of 18 études for solo piano between 1985 and 2001. Etude No 16 has a gentle beginning, becoming more and more frenetic due to the introduction of progressively shorter note-values and additional pitches. The étude is dedicated to Irina Kataeva.
