György Ligeti (1923–2006) was a Hungarian composer known for his innovative and avant-garde approach to music. His works often defied conventional musical structures, exploring complex textures and rhythms. One of his most notable pieces is the anti-opera 'Le Grand Macabre,' which has had a lasting impact on 20th-century musical theater.
