Hi Paulo-

To the extent it became outdated, I think you'd have to acknowledge that
Xenakis continued his view at least until 1967, when he introduced his
theory of Sieves (in "Vers une metamusique") with a rehash of his
polemic against serialism.

So is Xenakis at both "perceptive" in 1955 and "outdated" in 1967?

He certainly offers some warm observations of Schoenberg by the time of
the Varga interviews...

Best,
