Zeitmasse is one of a group of four acknowledged masterpieces
composed between 1955 and 1957 that together established Karlheinz
Stockhausen as the leading figure in the European avant-garde. Of
the four works, it is the only one that has not been thoroughly
analysed from the composer's sketches and, for this reason, remains
the least-well understood. In this volume, Jerome Kohl provides a
much-needed analysis of Zeitmasse, considering its standing in the
group and in the wider context of Stockhausen's output. Using
recently published correspondence and other documentation from the
period, together with surviving sketch material, Kohl investigates
the compositional procedures employed in Zeitmasse and their
evolution. He discusses the wide range of influences discernible in
the work, from that of both past generations of composers and
contemporaries, to the impact of Stockhausen's studies in
acoustics, phonetics and information theory on his music. The book
closes with an examination of the reception of Zeitmasse and its
associated concepts in the years following its composition, and
shows how the key concepts utilized in the work are themselves a
reflection of the properties seen in the very Zeitgeist that
produced them.
