This monograph is the first dedicated study of these capstone works, investigating them through a novel lens of statistical-graphical analysis that illuminates their compositional uniqueness as well as broader questions regarding the perception of stability in musical texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith nearly 200 graphical illustrations and a detailed commentary, this examination reveals the unique manner in which Ligeti treads between tonality and atonality--a key idea in his late style--and the centrality of processes related to broader scale areas (or \"macroharmony\") in articulating structures and narratives. The analytical techniques developed here are a powerful tool for investigating macroharmonic stability that can be applied to a wide range of repertoire beyond these works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for graduate-level and professional music theorists, musicologists, performers and mathematicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Namoradze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030856968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030856960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Nicolas Namoradze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131426730239,"sku":"9783030856960","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da2fe32b-c872-47f8-9231-8c9dd729a038.jpg?v=1687474459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ligetis-macroharmonies-nicolas-namoradze-9783030856960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
