" Yes, Wolpe was influenced by Bauhaus principles (and dadaism also). He
 embraced the Bauhaus idea of utopian socialism and it is possible that his
 early exposure to multi-media exhibitions flowed through to his music. In
 later life, he specifically rejected "elite" music, and wrote for amateur
 groups."

I bet you didn't know that Wolpe just loved bacon sandwiches and pickles.
