Tristram,
Many thanks and I hope this triggers some thoughtful discussion. It cuts to the core of who we are as musicians and why we do what we do.
Stockhausen's ambitions as a composer run high, as you said, and yours as an interpreter run no less. I'm sure that the forum will applaud your dedication, as I do (!)
Best,
EC
