Karlheinz Stockhausen
Quotations

"The reaction to my music in Germany is as violently hostile as ever. Last year, for example, when I conducted my Momente in Cologne, the audience made so much noise I just gave up -- stopped the performance. After about five minutes, I started again, and went through to the end, although they were yelling so that even I couldn't hear anything. At home, it is always that way."
