      This is a very interesting work!

      This is a seminal suite of minimalist pieces aren't actually that hard. There are lovely echoes of Bartok in a few. I'm a fan of Ligeti, but this music is very approachable anyway. Most of them can be assigned to an intermediate student.

      Good introduction to Ligeti's piano

      This work is a very good introduction to Ligeti's piano works. It is much easier than the phenomenonally difficult etudes, but is still not easy. It offers some very interesting ideas. For example, there are eleven pieces in the set. The first is built upon only two tones (transposed through...
