Hey folks,

To date .. Pierre Boulez has composed somewhere in the vicinity of 35-45 individual works .. just was curious roughly how much of it folks here at GMG have absorbed? Pick the percentage that's approximately representative. 100% being most of it; 75% being roughly three quarters;  50% about half, et cetera .. 0% being under the 5% mark, meaning hardly anything or in fact nothing yet. My inquiring mind is curious and would like to know.

Thanks in advance.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Zero. I don't really like him as a conductor, so I have ignored his output, which is silly since I might very well like his works...What do you (others) recommend as a good piece to start with?
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

About 90%. I have about 35 of his works on CD, and a handful more on mp3.

I have Le Marteau sans maitre, and have heard a couple of other works along the way.

Let's just say that I have no plans to increase my holdings of Boulez the composer (as opposed to Boulez the conductor, whom I like rather a lot)
