i'm NOT interested in what stockhausen or whoever said as a more or less silly excuse thereafter , but in what he said himself ORIGINALLY @ the press conference in hamburg , which u can find @ the bottom of page 8 & the beginnin' of page 9 in the followin' document , which is a TRANSCRIPTION of the press conference !!! - http://www.stockhausen.org/hamburg.pdf -
fyi : here's his ORIGINAL statement ( UNALTERED_!!! ) in german : "hm. also was da geschehen ist, ist natürlich - jetzt müssen sie alle ihr gehirn umstellen - DAS_GRÖSSTE_KUNSTWERK, was es je gegeben hat. (das also geister in einem akt etwas vollbringen, was wir in der musik nie träumen könnten, ..." !!! "DAS_GRÖSSTE_KUNSTWERK" is nothin' more or less than "the greatest piece of art" in english !!! period !!!
What he said and what he meant to say is two different things. Even Stockie can fumble with words. He is excused. Glenn
