 From the mid @-@ 1950s onward , Stockhausen designed ( and in some cases arranged to have printed ) his own musical scores for his publisher , Universal Edition , which often involved unconventional devices . The score for his piece Refrain , for instance , includes a rotatable ( refrain ) on a transparent plastic strip . Early in the 1970s , he ended his agreement with Universal Edition and began publishing his own scores under the Stockhausen @-@ Verlag imprint ( Kurtz 1992 , 184 ) . This arrangement allowed him to extend his notational innovations ( for example , dynamics in Weltparlament [ the first scene of Mittwoch aus Licht ] are coded in colour ) and resulted in eight German Music Publishers Society Awards between 1992 ( Luzifers Tanz ) and 2005 ( Hoch @-@ Zeiten , from Sonntag aus Licht ) ( Stockhausen @-@ Verlag 2010 , 12 – 13 ) . The score of Momente , published just before the composer 's death in 2007 , won this prize for the ninth time ( Deutscher Musikeditionspreis 2009 ) .
