I should add as well that it is amazing to watch as I saw it once performed by the LS at the Sydney Opera House and was mesmerised by the way that the tiny waving arms made “mexican wave” movements across the podium. I was also amused by how quiet the piece is. It’s actually like looking at grass blown by the wind. It confirmed my thought that Ligeti is probably one of the most multifaceted composers of the 20th Century.
