A tireless innovator  his work has always aroused great controversy  as well as attracting a fanatical discipleship. Stockhausen is renowned for his role in establishing European serialism  for his pioneering work in every form of electro-acoustic music - from early musique concrete to computer music - for his exploitation of physical performance space  and in the seven-opera cycle Licht for the integration of sound and movement. Stockhausen the man  however  has largely escaped analysis. Now Stockhausen: A Biography reveals the personal history of this extraordinary figure. We learn of his boyhood in Cologne  his struggles as a student  his studies with Messiaen in Paris  his exacting and highly individual teaching methods at Darmstadt and Cologne  and the circumstances in which many of his greatest works were composed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924483801141,"sku":"ByrdShop_0571143237","price":227.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571143238_9fdd4cdc-3ce3-428c-b049-e2c898eae1fe.jpg?v=1794133917","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stockhausen-a-biography-9780571143238","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
