A few tips:

1.  To listen to Webern, listen to plenty of Mahler first, then choose
the latest Boulez recordings of Webern's orchestral music on DG.

2.  Listen to plenty of Messiaen, then have a go with Boulez's music.

3.  Read absolutely everything Milton Babbitt ever wrote appertaining
to music: everyone enjoys a good mystery or thriller, don't they?
