Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Piano Etude No. 8 Fém            György Ligeti

Piano Etude No. 8  Fém by György Ligeti was composed in 1989. It belongs to his second collection of piano etudes. The title means "metal" in Hungarian but it also refers to the word fény, meaning "light". The percussion-like music includes influences of jazz and Sub-Saharan folk music which is rhythmically very complex.     Elisa Järvi
