Here's the last 6 weeks of my Forgotten Masterpiece Friday series.

This month's pieces include a symphony occasionally referred to as "Mahler's Symphony No. 0" for the great influence it had on Mahler, a strong contender for greatest Op. 1 in music history in Dohnányi's first piano quintet, and a lovely extended symphonic poem following Aeschylus's Oresteia by a truly unknown Spanish composer for whom I am literally unable to find any biographical material published in English.

July 7: Nina Makarova, Symphony (1938, rev. 1962)
July 14: Hans Rott, Symphony No. 1 (1880)
July 21: Kurt Atterberg, Symphony No. 2 (1915)
July 28: Amy Beach, Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet (1916)
August 4: Ernő Dohnányi, Piano Quintet No. 1 (1895)
August 11: Manuel Manrique de Lara, La Orestiada (1890)
