        I will have to give a listen to some of his music. Did any of Messiaen rub off on him?

          I've a feeling most everyone here is already familiar with this, but...

          The other day I followed a YouTube recommendation titled "The Piano Documentary," which turned out to be NOT about the piano itself (as I had assumed), but some of histories acknowledged "great" pianists. Some very fine performances are heard/seen, along with interesting commentary. I am especially happy that it includes Richter's video performance of Chopin's "Revolutionary" etude with better (but not stellar) audio quality than its standalone YouTube equivalent.

                  Good question. The use of pre-serial techiques applied to rhythm certainly was a factor: see his Modes des valeurs. You can find out more about this on the web very easily, Sorrano.

                    That was a good listen. However it took a bit to get into it as I had just been listening to some excerpts from Bartok's Bluiebeard's Castle. That was a contrast!

                    Thanks!

                        Listened to a videoed concert performance of Schecharazade at YouTube the other day that includes a most "interesting" take on the final movement. I'll start the link at the beginning of that movement, though what causes me to single it out starts some way in.
