Levy points out that Ligeti was not only a composer of music for traditional instruments but also composed several electronic works and was considered somewhat of an authority on electronic music. Levy gives many examples of Ligeti's music and, more important, the sketches and thought processes Ligeti went through to create new works. The music examples show traditional and 21st-century notational techniques, and it is refreshing to see the sketches of Ligeti's music and the unique way he notated his ideas for musical compositions. --Choice
