Karlheinz Stockhausen – and Wolfgang Rihm? Was there something? You bet. In the early summer of 1972, Rihm finished school and had a state examination in composition and music theory in his pocket. Rihm was just twenty and his goal was clear: to study composition. And only Stockhausen in Cologne was an option. He replies politely, invites him, but immediately makes his reservations clear in writing. It had to be »clear that you have no other plans for at least two years. Otherwise you’d better go somewhere else or nowhere at all. Kind regards, K. Stockhausen«.

Rihm and Stockhausen’s first meeting took place in the summer of 1972. Stockhausen, 24 years his senior, had already seen a lot of talented young people, but was quite taken with Wolfgang Rihm and his youthful self-confidence when he applied for his composition class at the age of barely twenty. And so Rihm, who had been taking professional composition lessons for a long time, regularly travelled from his new home in Cologne to Kürten, 25 km away, where the master held his classes. He would later say that this time was a time of self-discovery and self-examination as a composer.
