    Pierre Boulez was born in Montbrison, France, in 1925. After studying mathematics and other subjects in Lyon, he studied counterpoint and composition at the Paris Conservatoire under Andrée Vaurabourg (wife of Arthur Honegger, one of Les Six) and Olivier Messiaen.

    After leaving the Conservatoire, he studied with René Leibowitz, known as a disciple of Schoenberg and Webernn, and became devoted to serial techniques. This tendency was further advanced, leading him to total serialism after World War II, also influenced by his participation in the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music in Germany, which began in 1947. Structures for two pianos (1952/1961) is a representative work composed using this technique.
