  • 描述: During the late 1950s, the Darmstadt courses brought into contact a number of gay composers and theoreticians whose interactions-produced by differing attitudes towards openness and secrecy at the time-played an important part in the rapidly evolving aesthetic and technical dogmas of the European avant-garde. It is arguable whether the provocational talents of Boulez or Cage can be linked to the training in 'otherness' instilled by a gay private life. They were, however, put on their guard by Bussotti's arrival at Darmstadt in 1958. Bussotti's public flamboyance and frank use of homoerotic texts gained didactic and political strength through his relationship with Adorno's brilliant student Metzger. The impact of such overt provocation on the closeted Boulez, on the politically muddled Henze, and on such discomfited heterosexuals as Berio, Nono and Stockhausen, contributed to the aesthetic flux that characterized Darmstadt in the late fifties and early sixties.
