Listening ( Stockhausen, Karlheinz - Klavierstuck XI (1956)

This chance music is interesting because of the way the score is notated. In this piece you look randomly at a part of the score and you have to play that idea and then you play another idea until you get to the first idea three times. Once you play the first idea three times then the piece is other. I feel that this is music for the sole fact that it involves the striking of keys on the piano. Like Cage's Music of Changes this piece is random and contains indeterminacy. I can see were this piece has some musical elements. I feel that random music is still a type of music.
