Very interesting. A guy who basically followed his muse. Was it easier to do in 50s Germany with its greater appreciation of artistic innovation that it would be now?
Stockhausen's music is very hard for me to understand, but when I'm listening to it I feel as though there's some pattern just beyond my grasp. I suppose my musical life has consisted of learning to appreciate and play weirder and weirder music (where weirder means more complicated, abrasive or hard to understand), so it's good to know there are still (and, I'm sure, always will be) more worlds to conquer.
