Violin Concerto (Ligeti)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gyorgy Ligeti's Violin Concerto was written in 1992 for the violinist Saschko Gawriloff. The concerto is in five movements:
1. Praeludium: Vivacissimo luminoso - attaca:
2. Aria, Hoquetus, Choral: Andante con moto - attacca:
3. Intermezzo: Presto fluido
4. Passacaglia: Lento intenso
5. Appassionato: Agitato molto
It is often considered one of Ligeti's finest works, and well represents his late style: a synthesis of avant-garde explorations and traditional melodic and formal conventions.
