>
>According to the German news agency dpa, Karlheinz Stockhausen said in
>an interview he gave on account of a concert in Hamburg:
>
>"What happened there is - now you must readjust your brain - the biggest
>artwork of all times. That spirits achieve in a single act what we in
>music cannot dream of, that people rehearse ten years long like mad,
>totally fanatical for a concert and then die. This is the biggest
>artwork that exists at all in the whole universe... I couldn't match
>it. Against that, we - as composers - are nothing."
>
>Asked by a jorunalist whether he identified art and crime, Stockhausen
>replied: "It's a crime because the people were not consenting. They
>haven't come to the 'concert'. This is evident. And nobody had announced
>them that they could die in its process. What happened there
>spiritually, this leap from security, from what's ordinary, from life,
>that sometimes happens poco a poco in art. Or else it is nothing."
>
>The Financial Times Germany quotes Stockhausen's colleague Gyorgy Ligeti
>with the following reaction: "Stockhausen has taken the side of the
>terrorists. [...] If he thinks this atrocious mass murder is an
>artwork, I am sorry that I have to say that he should be locked up in a
>psychiatric hospital".
