2 Analysis
The three bagatelles should take around a minute to perform and should not be performed by heart, as a copy of
the score is necessary for it to be performed. The movement list is as follows:[3]
1. = 4048
2. L'istesso tempo
3. Pi lento
The composition consists exclusively of one long C1
whole note played in the rst movement.[4] Following
that, the movement changes are marked by the turning
of each page (one page is left blank between the rst
bagatelle and the second bagatelle). The piece ends when
the pianist stands up and bows towards the audience. It
has a certain humorous purpose. The second tacet movement is marked Molto espressivo. Moreover, the score
also includes a fourth bagatelle as an encore of the piece
to be performed if the pianist wishes, which is marked
Tempo primo and only includes a sixteenth rest.[3]

Composition
Ligeti nished the bagatelles in 1961, as part of his collaboration with neo-dadaist group Fluxus.[1] The original manuscript is kept in Basel, in the Sacher Stiftung,
as part of the Nordwall Collection, and is indeed dedicated to David Tudor. The piece was rst performed in
Wiesbaden by Karl-Erik Welin and was published in 1965
in New York City by Schott Music.[2]
