[Smt-talk] Boulez And World War II

[Stephen Jablonsky]

I was a student of Boulez at Harvard in 1963 and we have been friends ever since. I have spent hundreds of hours with him and I can report that he never spoke about WWII or even his life in Montbrison. I had met his sister on a number of occasions and even spent a week at her house in Provence so we did talk about her. On only two occasions did he ever mention his brother.

There is little mention at all of WWII in either book, nor reference to it in either index.  Possibly you will find the two books useful for further research on the subject of Boulez.
