2 Preludes and Intermezzo from Le Grand Macabre, for 12 car horns/6 door bells (3 players), performance score

2 Preludes und Intermezzo aus Le Grand Macabre, für 12 Autohupen/6 Türklingeln (3 Spieler), Spielpartitur

Ligeti's two-act opera in four scenes, 'Le Grand Macabre', is intense, brilliant music theatre between parody and grave seriousness, between folly and wisdom. His one and only opera, which is exceptional in the entire 20th century, is full of absurdities. Therefore, it is no wonder that the 'Overture' is a prelude for 12 car horns. Three players operate four horns each by using their hands and feet according to the precise notation. As endless as the possibilities to perform this curiosity with the help of our separate edition may seem, as great is its entertainment value.

CONTENIDO:

Prelude to the first scene
Intermezzo
Prelude to the third scene
