In addition, I have conducted a large number of interviews with composers, performers and journalists who were involved with the Ferienkurse.

The resources of the archive of the Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt (IMD), the convenors of the Ferienkurse, have been exhaustively utilised, integrating correspondence records, recordings of performances and lectures from the Ferienkurse and the IMD’s press archive. I therefore argue that this decade has a critical significance, ordinarily marginalised by German writings on Darmstadt. The German ‘Explosives Romantic’ and French Spectralists are examined in this context. A further important factor here was the revitalisation of interests in national styles. More than that, the seed sown in the 1970s led to Darmstadt’s revival as one of the most important focal points of contemporary music, under a new director, in the 1980s. As a secondary argument, I suggest that the abandonment of the more famous composers by Darmstadt in the 1970s, though heavily criticised at the time, was directly responsible for the survival of the Ferienkurse in the burgeoning post-modern era. Indeed, I argue that, especially in the case of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the unprecedented centrality of the compositional work and ideologies of the ‘big shots’, as Feldman termed them, was directly responsible for their later fall. The ‘big name’ composers, whose careers had been created in many cases by success at Darmstadt, increasingly found their compositional modes of thought being considered on the same level as previously marginalised composers.
Its primary thesis is that, during the 1970s, notions of musical progress, as articulated after 1945, waned massively in their significance. This represents the first study of full-scale study of the Darmstadt Ferienkurse in English. This dissertation is based on an examination of the decline of notions of musical avant-gardism, through a consideration of the parallel apparent decline of its most vital post-war institutional bastion, the Darmstädter Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik. Just as research chemists strive to discover new element properties, with the application of new probabilistic techniques we may advance the properties of structures substantially. Although the history of probabilistic safety concepts can be traced back nearly 90 years, for the practical applications a long way to go still remains. This is also true for the issue of probabilistic safety concepts in engineering. The high element number 110 of Darmstadtium indicates, that much research is still required and carried out. However, Darmstadt features a very special property: The element number 110 was named Darmstadtium after Darmstadt: There are only very few cities worldwide after which a chemical element is named. All of the conference cities feature some specialities. The workshop was held twice in Dresden, then it moved to Vienna, Berlin, Ghent and finally to Darmstadt in 2008. These are the proceedings of the 6th International Probabilistic Workshop, formerly known as Dresden Probabilistic Symposium or International Probabilistic Symposium. Analyzing their intellectual origins and historic development, the essay provides a comprehensive chronology as well as an articulate topography of early-twentieth-century German art institutions promoting cultural innovation. This essay is the first comparative study of the museums in Hagen and Weimar, whose founders disagreed with developments in Darmstadt but were inspired by those in Hamburg and, to a lesser degree, in Krefeld. Both establishments were the result of private initiatives of collectors who possessed great literary talent and artistic distinction and who were strongly opposed to the aesthetic ideals of the main arbiter of German taste, Emperor William II. Through the creation of two museums, in Hagen and in Weimar, dedicated to contemporary avant-gardes in art, architecture, and design, the recently united nation propagated its claim for international leadership in the cultural sphere. AbstractAt the beginning of the twentieth century, Germany moved to the institutional forefront of the art world.
