 (cf. Nordwall, //Ligeti-dokument//). First attempts to realize the piece were undertaken at the Cologne studio in November 1957. In April 1958, Ligeti resumed work and also began to work on a volume score (Lautstärkenpartitur) that was left unfinished. The piece itself was never realized. Possibly, this was due to the limitations of the studio technique of the day that would not allow for a practical way to produce and accurately synchronize more than forty separate layers with individual envelopes.
 The compositional concept for Pièce électronique No. 3 was strongly influenced by the idea of "Bewegungsfarbe" (movement color), a concept involving auditive phenomena related to micro montage. Ligeti had assisted Koenig in 1957 in the realization of Essay which makes use of said concept and would draw on it in his own work (see Musik und Technik in Ligeti, //Gesammelte Schriften//, Vol. 1, p. 237 ff.).
-Surviving fragments of Ligeti’s realization attempts (Paul Sacher Stiftung, Sammlung Ligeti, GL TS 1093 18cm Spule – digitized on GL CD 323 Track 12) consist of a constellation of several layers followed by a transposition of the same in the octave. This is copied twice. It is not known which volume relations were used. However, these fragments give a good idea of the sound quality that could be achieved with the analogue means of the time.

 In 1996, Kees Tazelaar and Johan van Kreij undertook a realization at the Institut voor Sonologie am Koninklijk Konservatorium in Den Haag using Csound.
