The use of his music in Stanley Kubrick's films \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Shining \u003c\/i\u003ehas ensured that his music has reached a wider audience. Richard Toop appraises all the principal compositions of Ligeti as well as his work as a teacher and mentor, and traces the composer's life beginning with his survival as a Jew during World War II, his flight to West Germany during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and his subsequent work in the Cologne electronic studios. To many of the composers who came to prominence during the 1960s and 70s Ligeti's music has been a lasting inspiration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Toop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.65h x 6.21w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714837956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Toop is a musicologist, journalist and broadcaster and is Head of Musicology at the Sydney Conservatorium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44411349926003,"sku":"9780714837956","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_bf446c96-8efb-4733-bc25-a7528f046f7e.jpg?v=1772026276","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/gyzirgy-ligeti-9780714837956","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
