Ligeti's music is renowned for its dense textures, micropolyphony, and unconventional approaches to rhythm and harmony, making him a leading figure in the avant-garde movement. His compositions, such as the haunting "Requiem" and the intricate "Cello Concerto," have left an indelible mark on classical music. Ligeti's unique style, characterized by its daring soundscapes and imaginative structures, continues to inspire both composers and audiences worldwide. His legacy is a testament to his enduring impact on contemporary classical music.
