New Museum of Music in Paris
By Walter Tenten

Hallo MMD! For those that want more information about the newly opened museum in Paris, please have a look at

   http://www.sonances.qc.ca/janv97/english/villette.htm

The electronic newspaper Sonances presents articles from previous issues to the public, i.e. to non-subscribers.

In the same January issue you will find an article about "New Recording of the Complete Works of György Ligeti" at the address

   http://www.sonances.qc.ca/janv97/english/ligeti.htm

This article is remarkable because Ligeti did also compositions explicitly for player piano. Included in the reviewed CD are several titles that were recorded on Juergen Hocker's Ampico piano. The French organ artist Pierre Charial has recorded some titles from Ligeti on his mechanical organ for this CD.

I do not want to participate in the recent and probably not yet closed discussion about "Old and New Music". I just want to point out here that the mentioned titles should be considered as contemporary music.

Walter Tenten
