The Most Underrated Composer (quote, song, Piano, Piano, Piano)

Exodizer · 10-29-2007, 08:40 PM

What do you guys think. I think personally is Josquin Des Prez. He was a Renaissance Composer and wrote varations on Gegorian Chants and also Masses. He mastered polyphonic harmony using mostly imiatation. It's really good music if you like Choral stuff. His music is hard to find also, but it's worth it if you do. So who do you guys think is the most underrated?

Erik Satie. Its still hard to find a lot of his music besides the overdone (but still lovely) Gymnopedies & Gnossiennes. Socrate, Parade, Sports et Divertissements, and other works are hard to find...

Chopin, on the other hand... :B

Anyways...

I'm going to agree with Fool on the Hill, Erik Satie is really up there. Conlon Nancarrow, too...despite his jumps in popularity, I never really hear much about him.

Johan strausse

I spelled that incorectly but i had a kick ass piano song by him, and my music teacher said he didnt exsist.. he might be popular tho

OK Frank Zappa. His classical pieces are phenomenal and disgustingly underated.

Definitely going with Bach and Beethoven, I mean, who the hell knows them?

/sarcasm.
