Favorite N. American composer?

on: September 25, 2005, 01:55:57 AM

My list not in any order are Ives, Beach, Chavez, and Griffes. Among them are found some fine works for piano.

In no particular order either....

Liebermann (!), Griffes, Copland

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

For piano music? A few would be....

Gottschalk, Macdowell, Gershwin, Beiderbecke, Barber, Copland, Elliot Carter, Conlon Nancarrow.

For piano music, I prefer La America del Sur...Villa-Lobos, and particularly Ginastera, my favorite classical "New World" composer. HE HATH DA FUUUURRRRYYYYYY!!!!!
