In case you were wondering, "Arc-en-Ciel" translates directly to "rainbow."

2:09 to 2:25 many wrong notes and chords on the left hand, I wonder how that passed through final editing... :\

This is a great almost jazz piano ballad.

Schnittke, what are you doing there? :p

I may be wrong, but it seems as though no performer has interpreted this as Ligeti wrote it. It clearly says "with swing" as in a dotted eight and 16th . . . He didn't just write "Tempo Rubato" which would have produced this interpretation. I'm gonna learn this and record it with a swing., dammit.

I dislike to disagree, but my personal interpretation of swing (from solo music and several jazz bands and combos) is that it ends up being almost identical to (eighth, eighth) = (quarter, eighth) within a triplet. I feel like the only place where (eighth, eighth) = (dotted eighth, sixteenth) produces better results (and by that I mean a genuine swing feel) is in Finale, and maybe Sibelius.
