György Ligeti

György Ligeti was a Hungarian-Austrian composer born on May 28, 1923, in Tîrnăveni, Romania. He passed away on June 12, 2006, in Vienna, Austria. Ligeti studied composition in Cluj, Romania, and Budapest, Hungary. From 1957 to 1959, he worked at the Studio for Electronic Music of the WDR in Cologne. He settled in Vienna in 1959 and became an Austrian citizen in 1967. His musical style is noted for its dense polyphony, known as micropolyphony, and static forms, exemplified in works like "Lux aeterna" (1968) and "Requiem" (1963-65). He also employed a complex polyrhythmic technique in his "Etudes for piano" (1985).
