Ligeti, Kurtag, and Hungarian Music during the Cold War - Rachel (Royal Holloway Beckles Willson - Bog

Drawing on key elements from musical thought in inter-war Hungary, this 2007 book provides a unique perspective on the nation's musical heritage during the Cold War. Although Ligeti became part of the Western avant-garde after he left Hungary in 1956, archival sources illuminate his ongoing contact with Hungarian musicians, and their shifting perspective on his work.
