A student of Webern smuggled the Viennese School into occupied Paris

Evidence

The origins of this development were closely connected to the rapid success of the Viennese School. René Leibowitz took part in the Darmstadt courses for the first time in 1948. He had studied under Anton Webern, and during the German occupation of Paris had managed to get the Viennese School established there by organizing illegal performances, by distributing scores and through his own compositions. His performances of works by Schoenberg and Webern, and his courses on twelve-tone music, were given an enthusiastic reception in Germany after the war. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 539
