Hungarian composer (1923-2006)
Summary
Updated 2026-05-29
Hungarian composer who rewrote the rulebook for 20th-century classical music. Ligeti's dense, dissonant soundscapes became the go-to texture for existential sci-fi—his work soundtracked 2001: A Space Odyssey and defined what "avant-garde" actually sounded like.
