Just one work

[Dave2002]

Think of a composer. Then think of just one work by that composer.

Example:

Janáček: Taras Bulba

If you get carried away (!!!) try doing it for composers from A-Z, to find 26 works.

I'm currently listening to one piece which I think might be iconic for that composer, which has prompted this thought.
Tell you later - much later.

Albéniz: Iberia
Granados: Goyescas

Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji : Opus clavicembalisticum

...try doing it for composers from A-Z, to find 26 works...

That's not fair to all those composers whose names begin with B, is it?

It's only a game, and already we have seen some rather unexpected things turn up - or at least I have.
