At first, it all sounds very easy. The notes leap through and over one another as if conjured up by a magician. However, nothing goes quite as smoothly as it seems, and here and there the music snags; notes get in each other's way and somehow it all gets somewhat out of hand. Our young Harry Potter still has a lot to learn Ligeti has a brilliant grasp of how to capture the essence of this scene in music. With a generous portion of wit and reminiscences of 'minimal music' a la Steve Reich, the composer allows the story to unfold and is effortlessly successful in creating one of the most difficult pieces in the entire piano literature. Tempo and hectic activity, active agitation and slapstick stumbling: this all combines to illustrate 'The Apprentice Wizard'.

One wrong note, otherwise...
On page 20, Etude 9, meas. 20, there is a dyad in the left hand, middle staff, treble clef, consisting of a G and a Db. The G MUST be a Gb, according to the composers rigorous and detailed working out of a precise and utterly logical pattern. Other than that, the music is your typical Modern Fabulous sounding Impossible-to-play Masterpiece. All of them are. Well, OK, I DID read through the second book way easier than the first book of these Etudes, but to perform them, as Jeremy Denk has done, is a task for perhaps five to ten people in the world. If you are one of them, or if you want to see what these sounds look like on paper, as I did, then purchase away. I relayed this wrong-note info to Mr.l Denk. He did not reply.
