  • I looked it up because of the "works in unusual time signatures" article on wikipedia.

  • Pianists should be complimented for studying works like this. This performance may please, and it may have nice sounds, but it is not what Stockhausen wrote. He plays the opening chord 165 times instead of the indicated 140. He miscounts the following repetitions as well, disregards tempo indications, pedaling, and countless other subtleties. The performer apparently feels that accuracy "doesn't matter" in Stockhausen. This attitude makes for dishonest playing; surely the pianist knows this.

  • I'm only here because I wanted to know what 87/8 time sounds like.

  • @Xike

    Me too this was the most insane i think

  • This guy a competitor of yours? Counting the number of times he plays the opening chord is not high my to-do list. He is playing it a bit like Debussy, but I like his interpretation... for the most part, though it quite liberal.

  • @Xike didnt we all

  • This is going to be stuck in my head all day

  • @Xike Same here

  • i just can't believe that anyone thought stockhousen was anything more that a nut.

  • it does have unusual time - and that time is for the waste bin - absolute tosh

  • so yeah this is dumb
