- "The work created rejects the definitive, concluded message and rather multiplies the formal possibilities of distribution and performances"
- "the author seems to hand them on to the performer more of less like the components of a construction kit"
- "The work is completed by one performer, but it is not closed because there are hundreds of other performers who will give it different closures, selecting from Stockhousen's options provided by his work"
I found this article really helpful while researching for my essay- and definitely found some valuable quotes. As the book itself is quite a difficult read it was it's good to get another persons take on it; I'm definitely starting the idea of 'open work' properly, even though I thought it might of been impossible when I first opened the book!
