About this exposition

At 22h26, on Easter Saturday, march the 30th 1991, by a full Moon, Karlheinz Stockhausen finished composing the piece Pietà, for quarter tone Flugelhorn, Soprano and electronic music. This piece is something very special. It is difficult to compare it to any of the regular repertoire that trumpet player, even new music specialist are used to learn and to perform. Only a few trumpet players ( six to my knowledge up to today, without me) have taken this challenge. I am profoundly convinced that this piece is only at the beginning of it’s life, and is going to be perform way more often, by a lot of different players in the future. I hope that what I am presenting in this document will help the future generations of courageous musicians who will embark upon the journey that this piece is. Any musician that would like to go on the road with this piece should thus ask himself: What does it take, to learn and perform Pietà?
