Description

Organized by the Hessischer Rundfunk Frankfurt in connection with the Second International Twelve-Tone Congress, the Summer Courses for New Music, Darmstadt, and the conference of the students of German music academies.

From a contemporaneous review

“The I951 I.S.C.M. Festival was held at Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, the 1952 Festival at Salzburg, Austria. Both events are worthy of being regarded as symbols of the return of the two countries to the international musical scene.”

–Karl H. Wörner, “Austria” (the second segment of “Current Chronicle”),
The Musical Quarterly, Volume XXXVIII, Issue 4, October 1952, p. 600.
