Many people know that I am a big fan of Stockhausen for many reasons. I've advocated some of his compositional ideas and have the opportunity to play some of his music. Most of the reasons I enjoy Stockhausen came from this book:
Stockhausen on Music: Lectures and Interviews, by Karlheinz Stockhausen and Robin Maconie
This book is a series of transcribed lectures and interviews which I found to be an enlightenment concerning some of Stockhausen's ideas and where they come from. I particularly recommend the section on "Intuitive Music." Not only have I found this to be an adequate guide to Stockhausen's own works, but the concepts presented in the transcribed lectures are a worthy source of pondering for any musician.
