2001 and beyond....

Ligeti wrote music that was included in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Most people had no problem integrating this music as part of the film, but separately his music is considered much too difficult to appreciate. Anyone knowing the string quartets of Bela Bartok would have no problem understanding the quartets of Gyorgy Ligeti. There is no excuse for saying "that hurts my ears"!
