Ramifications is a composition for strings by Hungarian composer György Ligeti.
The version for 12 soloists was premiered a few months later, on October 10, 1969, in Saarbrücken, with the Kammerorchester des Saarländischen Rundfunks under the baton of Antonio Janigro.
In addition, conventional barring is used merely for synchronization and does not function as a metric indicator.
The composition aims to sound as a heterogeneous, amorphous texture in which the two groups try to retune each other.
Only the orchestra version makes distinctions when performing tutti and solo parts.
