My music teacher in school had studied music with him and he described him
as over pedantic. Stockhausen hated wrong notes. Sotosay the opposite of
Jazz.
What came to mind is also the critique of Jazz by Adorno. I dont think it
has anything to do with classes, those cats just didnt like that stuff (at
