First edition of the special aural score for Ligeti’s "Artikulation" designed by Rainer Wehinger. Inscribed by Ligeti to Carl Dahlhaus (1828–1989) the German musicologist. Ligeti and Dahlhaus had a famous discussion on musical form, held at the Darmsädter Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in 1965. Ligeti composed "Artikulation" in 1958, this is one of only two electric pieces he composed before returning back to the instrumental medium. Ligeti provides this explanation for his music: "The piece is called Artikulation because in this sense an artificial language is articulated: question and answer, high and low voices, polyglot speaking and interruptions, impulsive outbreaks and humour, charring and whispering". Although the piece had an original score by Ligeti, twelve years after it was composed, Rainer Wehinger created this "Hörpartitur" or aural score, a more "user friendly" version. It focuses on the main sonic characteristics: uses a timeline measured in seconds; shapes and colours instead of notes on a staff; different colours represent variations in timbre and pitch, the dots are standing for impulses and combs for noise. György Ligeti (1923–2006) was a Hungarian (Transylvanian) born composer. Studied at the Music Academy of Cluj and Budapest. After his graduation he started to collect folk music in Romania and taught composing and counterpointing at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He left Hungary after the revolution in 1956, and started to work at the radio station in Cologne where he made acquaintance with Karlheinz Stockhausen who had a major influence on his art. In 1959 settled down in Vienna and became citizen in 1967. Taught at the Universities of Darmstadt, Stockholm, Stanford and Hamburg. Under the influence of Stockhausen started to compose music for electronic instruments, and these works, "Artikulation" and "Atmosphères", gave him reputation in the Western European music scene. Soon he gave up composing electronic music but his experiences with such instruments made and effect on his later compositions. . Front pastedown, half title and title creased.
