Karlheinz Stockhausen: Opus 1970 (for piano, electric viola, Elektronium, tam-tam, and sound processing)
Deutsche Grammophon 139 461 SLPM Germany 1970 LP Vinyl: nm-
Cover: ex- (wrinkle from corner bend) This classic live electronic improv work (which grew out of Stockhausen's Kurzwellen) is actually a great noisy atonal tribute to Beethoven. Stockhausen serves as sound-director of Aloys Kontarsky (piano), Johannes G. Fritsch (electric viola), Harald Boje (Elektronium early electronic keyboard instrument), and Rolf Gehlhaar (tam-tam). The players activate tapes containing abstract fragments of Beethoven's music as they perform and improvise in response, with Stockhausen electronically processing and mixing the group's output.
Stockhausen was a student of Olivier Messiaen, a contemporary of John Cage and Iannis Xenakis, and peers with Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, Karel Goeyvaerts, Mauricio Kagel, Franco Evangelisti, Herbert Eimert, and Henri Pousseur.
