Summary:

"Published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Ligeti's birth the present book is the most exhaustive and complete analysis of the Hamburgisches Konzert, the composer's last work. Among the leading scholars of Ligetian music, Elia takes us inside this composition by integrating different analytical approaches, from structural to spectral analysis, from aural analysis to the meticulous study of the manuscript and the notes kept at the Sacher Foundation in Basel among which Elia found two unpublished movements of the Concerto, not included in the final score, and published for the first time in this book together with all the preparatory sketches. A substantial chapter is dedicated to the numerous errors (over 300) present in the printed score (including the instrumental parts) and in the manuscript, which have irreparably compromised all the performances and recordings of the Concerto to date. The complete revision of the score done by Alessio Elia, present in the book together with the presentation of possible solutions to the problematic points of the manuscript, resolved through the understanding of the compositional logic that underlies it, converged in the first revised performance of the Hamburgisches Konzert which took place at the Budapest Music Center on May 28, 2023, Ligeti's birthday, with the Concerto Budapest Ligeti Ensemble conducted by the renowned conductor and composer Peter Eötvös"--Page 4 of cover.
