Talk:Karlheinz Stockhausen
From Academic Kids
Cam, luckily for me the poetry is in German. Hyacinth 20:39, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
It exhibits a preoccupation with certain bodily fluids and the bits which produce them. I think it's meant to be erotic. Maybe in a live performance in the right environment it works, but listening to it on a CD at home, I'm just worried th neighbours might hear. Interesting piece, though. --Camembert
suggestion
Someone should look into the whole business concerning Stockhausen's publishing house. I think that the publishing house is part of the Stockhausen foundation and that the recording company is part of the publishing house. In that respect it is not enough to say that Stockhausen founded the record company "to make this music permanently available on compact disc". Rather, one should think of it as part of a concept, with which Stockhausen wants to make his life's work permanently available. Interesting in this respect is also, that Stockhausen bought back the rights for the publication of his pieces, both for scores and recordings ("Gaining access" sounds to passive, I think).
In general I think the article is very good!
