Stockhausen Serves Imperialism by Cornelius Cardew
A concise Marxist polemic contending that a leading avant-garde composer and his music operate as cultural instruments of Western imperialism, reinforcing elitist, bourgeois values through abstruse serialism and institutional ties. The pamphlet condemns this aesthetic as politically complicit and inaccessible to workers, urging that music be reoriented toward revolutionary, proletarian purposes. It situates musical form and practice within broader struggles over culture, power, and class.
