Berio lived as a protagonist amidst the cultural ferment of the twentieth century: at the Milan Conservatory, he studied with Ghedini, in the United States he came into close contact with the avant-garde movements across the ocean, and in Germany, he attended the Darmstadt courses, meeting Boulez, Ligeti, and Stockhausen. He explored dodecaphony, electronics, opera, chamber music, and the grand orchestra, leaving his mark in every creative act. “Trying to define music is like trying to define poetry,” he said. “It is, in fact, a happily impossible task. Music is everything you listen to with the intention of listening to music.”
