More about the book

Focusing on György Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre, this study delves into the opera's complex music-dramatic identity within the framework of musical postmodernism. Peter Edwards utilizes modernist and postmodernist theories to examine the interplay of historical styles and genres, alongside the opera's expressive qualities and grotesque elements. The analysis is enriched by detailed musical examination and insights from Ligeti's sketches at the Paul Sacher Foundation, making it an essential reference for those interested in modernism, postmodernism, and Ligeti's work.
