You may be off topic but I’ll take you up on that topic anyway. I don’t disagree except to note that Copland’s beloved and distinctive compositional style underwent a jarring change when he adopted the international style of his late 20th century colleagues. I try to listen to his music from this period occasionally but do not find it particularly engaging. I wonder if that’s part of the reason for his being under-appreciated. But maybe you have a completely different opinion. Let’s hear it!
Who would you nominate for a list of overrated composers from this era? Could be fun to discuss.
