It's probably a little unwieldy to copy all my past Forgotten Masterpiece Friday posts into this group, but I'll start posting them here in the future. For now, I thought I'd link directly to a few favorites on my journal. I can also now confirm that all the Forgotten Masterpiece Fridays on my DW journal are visible to the public.
Howard Hanson, Symphony No. 1 ("Nordic")
Wang Xilin, Symphony No. 1
* An early work from a still-active composer sometimes known as the Chinese Shostakovich.
George Bristow, Symphony No. 3
* A very early American symphony that was well ahead of its time in orchestration.
Ethel Smyth, Double Concerto
* Interesting combination of solo instruments: horn and violin!
Walter Rabl, Clarinet Quintet
Sheng Lihong, Ocean Symphony
* Literally the composer's only composition for which he received sole credit; but for a first and last effort, what a piece!
Amanda Maier, Violin Sonata
* Mutually influential with Brahms's 3rd violin sonata; the two composers simultaneously sent one another early drafts!
Kunihiko Hashimoto, Symphony No. 1
* The second movement is essentially a Japanese Bolero that ends with taiko drums being used in the percussion section.
