[RB-pils]

One of the great piano compositions of the 20th century.

[MarkGrindell]

If I could write music like this... But I can't and that's all there is to that. A very beautiful piece, extraordinary, one of the clearest and most lucid of this kind.

[markmastro]

In my humble opinion, one of the great masterpieces for piano of the 20th century. Of the 11 pieces in his "Klavierstucke" opus,
only this one is truly remarkable. Once the aleatory piece was considered "far out", but to me it's trivial now. The 9th will last
in perpetuum, in beauty, in elegance, and in grace. I'm not sure Stockhausen wants to be remembered for any of those qualities, though.

[joelpenicaud]

Cette musique me détend, me fait un bien fou. Pierre-Laurent Aimard est vraiment l'interprète de Stockhausen, tout comme celui de Messiaen.

[laspiano]

impressionante, parabens para o Pianista, maravilhoso, obrigado por postar

[danielgonzalezjr]

Me when I found out Aimard plays more than just Ligeti.

[notaire]

Bestimmt ein Meisterstück Stockhausens!

[-Vitalis-]

Dunno how the hell did I end here...

Nice music, by the way.

[WinrichNaujoks]

Haha! Da sitzen sie nun alle und gucken und warten darauf, dass es endlich vorbei ist und wieder ein schönes Stück kommt!

[gakitada]

A hauntingly beautiful piece by Stockhausen :)

[JasperOP]

I want to play this on guitar not sure if that’s possible

[ploopybear]

Absolutely brilliant piece of poetry! Why hasn't yet Stockhausen won the Nobel Prize for Peace?

[gilgameshdushash]

Aimard is so great for playing such and other crap.

[karlbauer]

Man kann ja nur erleichtert aufatmen, da das Piano nicht zersägt wurde. Und aufatmen, wenn das Stück zu Ende ist.

[Vanessa-vtij]

Sounds so wrong and so good at the same time

[AvntXardE]

I heard that if you listen too long for Stockhausen, you start to grow horn-rimmed glasses and you will never ever read a book again that doesn't say "Theodor W. Adorno" on the front cover. And if you go for sushi, you only pick the vegetarian ones.

[SaccidanandaSadasiva]

Stockhausen, the best composer of 20th century

[baggaardenshelte]

Imponerende ! mest af alt, at pianisten har brugt så meget tid på at indøve musik-matematik på så højt plan… musikken minder mig mest om, når Keith Jarrett har sine øjeblikke ude i 12- tones musikken verden, bare med den parantes, at det er improviseret ……

[Chickloc]

The time signature: 34/8, 42/8, 87/8, 142/8

[lurkingmusician]

Since most of the devices you would often use to look at a more "traditional" piece prove to be useless or even misleading here, how should one go about understanding these kinds of works?
