+Christos Tsanakas I'm not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure that Radulescu gave a lecture to Xenakis, Grisey, Murail, etc... when they were studying with Messiaen. Messiaen was a big fan of Radulescu. Radulescu was often frustrated that these composers were given credit for many ideas that he claimed to have come up with. Difficult to say what actually happened. In any case, this piece as well as many Xenakis pieces are absolutely flawless. Beautiful.
