what about that ending,THAT'S GREAT,SOUNDS LIKE A FIVE YR OLD COULD DO THAT,SILLY,MUSIC BY CHANCE,NO MELODY,NO HARMONY,JUST THROW A BUNCH OF NOTES IN THE AIR,WHERE THEY LAND,VOILA.i wouldn't despise this bastard so much,never thought his music had any quality,ever hear anyone,OR DO YOU THINK,""GEE ,I'M SO IN THE MOOD FOR TELEMUSIK"!!the f**cker made a comment,as twin towers fell,burning,crushing thousands, "what a gorgeous piece of art that was",wish he were in it then,pig
Remarkable and delightful. Stockhausen needs a proper assessment - the final decades of bad Hindemith played on Casiotones with people dressed up in Sun Ra costumes, plus the wacky megalomania and absurd restricted availability and expense he imposed on his work, count for a great deal, but he was still a master.
@Enantiodromialist I remember a DG LP of wind quintet music with a fantastic piece ("Adieu" in the title?) full of sustained chords with continual microtonal bends - plus such barely known masterpieces as Inori and Sternklang - Sternklang was *not* a family favorite in my house in my teens, haha.
Thanks for this concise summation of the state of Stockhausen's reputation and the factors behind its precipitous decline, especially in North America, from the 1980s onward. I fear that it will be some decades before we come to a "proper assessment" of his importance, due chiefly to all the extrinsic or emotional factors that people brought to the question while he was alive.
@Schell77 Thank you for your reply. I was concerned that there might have been an element of unkindness in my comment - "bad Hindemith played on Casiotones with people dressed up in Sun Ra costumes" was my flippant thumbnail description of "Sirius", nevertheless a lovely piece I listened to many times. Stockhausen did perhaps go astray - but who among us does not, and who among us could claim such achievement?
I barely even know "Kontakt" - a piece I suspect equals Einstein. God forgive us -

YES, INDEED A WONDERFUL ENDING. Meanwhile, I'm going to go listen to "Tabuh-Tabuhan" - SEARCH THAT AND LISTEN TO IT, EVERYONE,
YOU'LL LOVE ME OR HATE ME, GUARANTEED.

Thank you for reminding us of him.

@Enantiodromialist yes, the wind quintet piece is called "Adieu".
