Notes
The formal plan and skeleton of Mantra for 2 pianists came into being between May 1st and June 20th 1970, in Osaka, Japan. Every morning I composed for ca. 3 hours in my hotel room, before driving at midday to the spherical auditorium at the World Exhibition where, together with 20 young singers and instrumentalists, I performed my music daily from 3.30 p.m. to ca. 9.00 p.m., for over 1 million listeners. The from July 10 to August 18th, I worked uninterrupted on the score in Kürten, and on October 18th at 8.30 p.m. the woork was premiered by the pianists Alfons and Aloys Kontarsky at the "Donaueschinger Musiktage für Zeitgenössische Tonkunst", as a commission from the Südwestfunk Baden-Baden. The gramophone recording for Deutsche Grammophon took place from the 10th to the 13th June 1971 at Munich, in the recording studio at 22 Kreillerstrasse.Kürten, September 15th, 1971
Die beiden elektronischen Klangumwandler Typ Modul 69B (Entwurf Stockhausen, Herstellung Peter Lawo, Rastatt) wurden vom Südwestfunk Baden-Baden zur Verfügung gestellt.
