Nice piece - shame about the title...

[Guest]

Would Forum members like to offer examples of well-written tuneful/enjoyable/accessible pieces that are possibly neglected by schedulers because the said pieces have severe-sounding or offputting titles? I would like to offer two:
Edmund Rubbra: Improvisations on Virginal Pieces by Giles Farnaby (at 16 minutes, a great choice for Essential Classics, I would have thought, and a delight from start to finish); and
Paul Hindemith: Symphonic Metamorpheses on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber.

[Panjandrum]

Anything with symphony, sonata or string quartet in it.

Charles Ives did himself no favours with 'From Hanover Square North, at the End of a Tragic Day (1915) the Voice of the People Again Arose' from the Orchestral Set No. 2. It's a deeply moving piece about the sinking of the Lusitania.

Choses vues à droite et à gauche (sans lunettes) and others by the same composer (guess who?).

Unlike mercia, Norfs seems to have had a spot of brain fade!

Ooops sorry madam, wrong room!
