Ligeti György Sándor ： 3 Bagatelles for David Tudor

Ligeti’s 3 Bagatelles for David Tudor is a concentrated piano work consisting of three short pieces. Restrained sonorities and silence, lingering resonance, and sharp contrasts create a distinctive tension within a limited span. To bring out the differences in character among the pieces, performers should keep note values and rests precise while controlling dynamic changes without exaggeration. Pedaling should be handled carefully so that the resonance does not become blurred; awareness of attacks, releases, and the silence left in the space allows the delicate colors and distinctive expression within the concise writing to emerge.
