dc.description.abstractThis article deals with performer’s experiences in handling the pianistic challenges in the demanding études of György Ligeti (1923–2006). The article analyses possible approaches to the complicated musical material and describes how to master the études as effectively as possible through specific practice methods. Ligeti’s études are among the most complex pieces of piano music, demanding exceptional virtuosity and concentration from the pianist. An important structural component of the études is complicated polyrhythm, which makes learning and performing them particularly intense mentally. There are many polymetric passages where the pianist must choose which metre to proceed from in cognitive terms in order to achieve both technical confidence and the desired musical effect. The author gives examples of experiments with different metrical feelings in the work process and describes different technical and mental practice methods which prove useful for learning Ligeti’s études. The research is based on the author’s experiences while practising and performing Ligeti’s études, analysing notes taken during the preparatory phase. The main method is self reflection. In addition, other pianists’ thoughts have been gathered from conversations, master classes and literature.
