The result was his piano cycle Musica ricercata (1951–1953), a set of eleven pieces built on a fascinating premise: the first movement uses only two pitches, the second uses three, and so on, with each movement adding a new note until the final movement employs the full twelve-note chromatic scale. Immediately after completing this 11-movement piano work, Ligeti selected six of its movements (Nos. III, V, VII, VIII, IX, and X) and skillfully transcribed them for wind quintet, creating the Six Bagatelles . The premiere was particularly notable: the first five movements were performed in Budapest in 1956 by the Jeney Wind Quintet under the title Cinq Bagatelles because the sixth movement was considered "too dangerous" and was banned by the Soviet Hungarian authorities for its "profusion of minor seconds". The complete set was not publicly performed in its entirety until 1969.
