This series of interviews between Stockhausen and Mya Tannenbaum, a reporter for the noted Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera, reveals the human personality behind the music, touching upon his working methods, his family, his attitudes toward the various arts, his outspoken views on religion, mysticism, astrology, humanity, and the universe, as well as polemics against many members of the music profession, from the great conductors and performers to the anonymous electricians and technicians.
