I think that it can be accepted that his meaning was something perceived to be far wider and more pervasive than mere composer-on-composer influence as provided by Boulez's music.

I think that's true, especially in France... where Boulez is touted as the living embodiment of what a composer 'is supposed to be like'.

Unfortunately.

I'm not so sure that this is any longer as true as once it seemed to be in that country, though...
