It is a strength of this book that the extremely careful understanding of the compositional ideas (not least down to Kohl's comprehensive analysis of the sketches) is not lost in the search for and representation of the specific reasons for this or that compositional decision. [...] In conclusion, Kohl presents this exemplary discussion of Stockhausen's compositional works, whose influence on later composers up to the present day shows how important such an investigation is to the understanding of composing in general and also to the works themselves.
