"Sometimes music vibrates beyond the clouds, and we can no longer hear its echo. Very rarely is it truly infinite; then it makes us forget the Earth. The great masters sense that they have one last thing to say, and that life is coming to an end –. But their music stays behind with humanity as a legacy, and we must gratefully preserve this precious gem, and endeavour in the spirit of the composer to grow deeper and deeper into his works and let them worthily arise again."

K. Stockhausen, August 20th 1948
