Ligeti: Works for Piano 3

I did not grow fond of this one, though I listened to it repeatedly. Nevertheless, I did find perhaps something in it. Musica ricercata is an interesting exploration of the spatial effects that a piano as a percussion instrument can develop. It concentrates on this by developing volume/intensity lines, by controlling reverberation, and by actually changing the spatial direction of sound, since a piano is a big instrument having different registers distinctively located.
