Vertige,<\/em> Etude No. 9, dedicated to composer Mauricio Kagel, is Ligeti’s third etude from Book 2. Widely-separated hands use chromatic scales to create the effect of endless, falling movement. Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti<\/a> did not complete another \u00e9tude for three years after finishing Vertige<\/em>. Ligeti composed a cycle of 18 \u00e9tudes for solo piano between 1985 and 2001. They are considered one of the major creative achievements of his last decades, and one of the most significant sets of piano studies<\/a> of the 20th century, combining virtuoso technical problems with expressive content, following in the line of the \u00e9tudes of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, and Alexander Scriabin but addressing new technical ideas as a compendium of the concepts. – Yuja Wang<\/a><\/p>\n
