Composer Klaus Huber, Giant Of 20th-Century Modernism, Dead At 92

“Unlike the other greats of his generation, he was not a figure affected by the media. The genius emperor Boulez, the sensuous artist-prince Henze, the galactic Stockhausen, had all already cut their own paths as Klaus Huber continued to teach 40 violin students per week, and only pursued a vocation he’d long known in the mornings.” (Huber was also a highly-regarded composition teacher; among his students were Brian Ferneyhough, Wolfgang Rihm and Kaija Saariaho.)
