Hermann Scherchen, 74, Berlin-born conductor known as an indefatigable champion of modern composers, introducing works by Schoenberg and Hindemith when they were unknowns, who scorned U.S. orchestras as timid traditionalists, rejecting invitations for 35 years until 1964, when his five-part concert in Manhattan proved stunningly worth waiting for; of a heart attack; in Florence...
