I saw a copy last month in San Francisco, but -- in my haste -- didn't know then what to make of it.Garth Trinklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-17840230481313080702007-10-04T18:15:00.000+01:002007-10-04T18:15:00.000+01:00Garth, I was re-reading Paul Griffith's excellent ...Garth, I was re-reading Paul Griffith's excellent <A HREF="http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521842948" REL="nofollow">A Concise History of Western Music</A> this week. The following quote is very relevant to your comment:<BR/><BR/><I>In 1954 Boulez founded a concert series in Paris, eventually known as the Domaine Musical, to present new works in a context of twentieth-century classics and of old music that displayed concern with questions of construction (Bach, Gabrieli).
