The most neglected American masterpiece?
mainLeonard Slatkin has posted a list of major works by US composers that were cheered on debut and subsequently left to grow mould.
Readers are swelling Leonard’s ten with lost masterpieces of their own.
I would add any symphony by Benjamin Lees, the cello concerto of Victor Herbert, William Grant Still’s first symphony, Eric Zeisl’s piano concerto and pretty much anything by Conlon Nancarrow.
Your list?
