"I hope so" - takes a man with perceptiveness like stockhausen to see through this arrogant question and leave it hanging in the air like the bad fart it is. ofc music has meaning beyond itself, but thats up to the listener.
If you're interested in a good interview with Stockhausen, I'd recommend his conversation with Björk, that's not so hard to find on Google (just search for 'Björk Stockhausen interview').
"Stockhausen rarely gives interviews" ...if you search "Stockhausen interview" there's a ton of material. He was very present in the academic world and in music industry, and there are even a lot of whole lectures of his. We are not talking about Scelsi or Sorabji....but journalists always tend to exaggerate their achievements..
I feel for the interviewer. More than likely used to interviewing bands like Oasis or Coldplay, probably flung into this with short notice and no knowledge of Stockhausen's work prior.
Yes if you read about his theories behind his works, he wrote books and had complex reasoning he spent decades working on. He's influenced all electronic music. He was faaaaaaaaar from just doing random stuff and "breaking" rules, that's for certain. He was making his own ones. One of the greatest composers of the last century.

The last time Stockhausen saw his father (a German soldier on leave from the front) was in 1945. His father told him "I'm not coming back, take care of things." And his father was soon thereafter listed as missing in action. What a terrible burden of sorrow that entire generation had to bear.
It was brilliant the way he terminated that silly interview, it’s as though he was thinking ‘enough of your BS assumptions and ridiculous questions, time to get back to my music making’!
SUN RA DID THIS IN 1961!!!
meh
Does anyone know the name of the interviewer and the date of this interview?
It’s crazy that this UA-cam video got uploaded when Stockhausen was still alive. Rest In Peace You Mad Genius
He’s obviously taking the piss. If you take him seriously more fool you. 😂🤷♂️
He doesn't make music. He makes sounds for thinking, not feeling.
It's good or bad?
Truly preposterous interview.
no
The awkward eye flutter when his first question fails miserably is still such a great bit of unintentional physical comedy
1:59 You're welcome
If this interviewer would of interviewed Mozart his first question would be ‘what’s your favorite color’?
I predict that he will mostly be remembered in future centuries for his mention by the Beatles
Not even. Or let's say, I wander how many Beatle fans know of this factoid....
This is great!
2:16 he went 👁👄👁
The sounds of Satan.
STOCKHAUSEN hat sehr spannende musik geschaffen, die mir gefällt.
Hey man, this shit sucks
I spent a week of study with him 1986! Great.
Very interesting, great stuff.
He cannot be Sirius?
the most interesting sound you have ever heard? the sound of NOOOO
No

Entartete Kunst!
Mit Verlaub: Strunzdummer Trottel
@@higgy7762 So solltest du über Stockhausen nun auch nicht reden...
Who in earth is Lawrence Pollard?
This is a great interview, not sure what the fuss is about in the comments.
he actually makes opera sound exciting. i'd go see it.

interviewer is a complete moron
The interviewer is an idiot, or the representative of d***cratic view of the majority. Which are same things.

thank you! finally a reasonable comment
😂and know i roll a spliff with his grandson. And we laugh and miss his grandvater. He was a kind Person. Bless
Go to the kitchen b1tch
Stockhausen's patience in the face of this arrogant idiot is so admirable 🙏
I honestly think a lot of modern art is bullshit, but Stockhausen was a bona fide genius.

I'm just trying to get into some of his stuff now. It's a bit difficult to appreciate but maybe it'll grow on me; some stuff is an acquired taste.
@@denver-gi7ot I think for example Stimmung is a quite enjoyable work. Not unpleasant or difficult to listen to and with a lot of humour.
@@ivankaramasov thanks, I'll check it out

Karlheinz are you talking Siriusly?
very similar to Sun Ra.
What song is it in the beginning. I dont know if these are songs but thats all i can think of
Stockhausen will be relegated to the memory hole the same way as Edward Varese and dare I say Schönberg (at least his serial music)!
6:15 oh you are such a dramatic person...AKA U ARE SOOO FAKE NEWS

6:30 "I didn't break anything. I just left it as it is." Great comeback. And true as well.
The first question is like: what is your favorite Minecraft block? So much cringe.
my favorite Minecraft block is the note block
@@maredjurphy Jazz!
Ahahaahh😂😂😂 yes!
Can brought me here.
I like how he says "Nineteen-Hundred Fifty-One"
It's a normal way of saying a year in German.
His music is very difficult to diguest...
