Performance Practice
In the printed score, Stockhausen wrote, "The order of the characteristic sections and the total duration are variable. Depending on the dramatic requirement, Regions may be extended, added or omitted" (Stockhausen 1968, viii). However, in a text written on 18 March 1991 Stockhausen withdrew this option (Stockhausen 1998a, 95).

“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”

With ancient stubbornness ingrained,
Although her body clung and swarmed,
My own identity remained.”
