what's this "scorched earth" theory ? Boulez was just referring to Berg's music specifically, in particular op.1...it rings true.

Oh, no argument there.  I mean his own hobby-horse antipathy to music before 1952, and the misguided notion that you just "have to" throw everything out before serialism.
