Stupid unnecessary comment which shows a pathetic man trying to invoke some other comments that have nothing to do with this topic. Can't you show some respect for someone who passed away without pushing your opinion about his music?
Stupid unnecessary question, if you'll pardon my saying so; clearly, this person is entirely incapable of showing any such respect, otherwise he/she would not have posted his/her alleged "opinion" in this forum. Sadly, as you and others will have noticed, there are such people around - and equally sadly, this forum is not exempt from their presence.
"Waldszenen"'s unnecessary remark shows even greater insensitivity in this particular case, since Ligeti has been unable to write music for some time as a direct consequence of the deterioration of his physical condition towards the close of what had already been a long-term illness.
If the above is the best that "Waldszenen" can offer, perhaps it would be better if he/she retires to the forest and makes a scene there rather than in a thread about the death of Ligeti.
Enough of this, however; let us return to a more positive and valuable comment from someone who knows of what he writes:
"Yes, I just received the sad news. It's strange how close a relation you get to a composer whose works you played so much over the years. So now there will never be any more music from that unique mind."
This was written in a personal message to me by Fredrik Ullén, the gifted Swedish pianist who recorded all of Ligeti's piano études on the Swedish BIS label.
Best,
Alistair
