Manny Laureano has a spectacular aura about
So, then here's a question:

The lesser known works of Copland are a bit different than the works everybody knows just about by heart. Are they lesser known because they are not consistent with the musical language he's known for or is it that they're just not terribly interesting to listen to?

What composers do you listen to that manage to hold your interest from piece to piece? Tchaikovsky seems very consistent to me but some will accuse himof being unintellectually challenging. I don't hold that view.

Anyway... what do you think? We have a lot of musicology types on the site like Jimi, Alex, JJ... I know there are several others.
