I Like To Stay Home And Listen

In January 1944 I Was Called Up By The Forced Labor Service, But I Deserted On October 10, 1944.

I Only Want To Give A Metaphysic For My Music.

I Was Fifteen Years Old, And I Hardly Knew How To Play A Simple Bach Prelude On The Piano When I Began To Compose Music, And At The Most Advanced Level. I Had Never Studied Such Things As Harmony.

Now There Is No Taboo; Everything Is Allowed. But One Cannot Simply Go Back To Tonality, It’s Not The Way. We Must Find A Way Of Neither Going Back Nor Continuing The Avant-garde. I Am In A Prison: One Wall Is The Avant-garde, The Other Wall Is The Past, And I Want To Escape.

I Listen To All Kinds Of Music - New Music, Old Music, Music Of My Colleagues, Everything.
