While I'm not a Zappa fan, I will agree his pieces are viciously unappreciated and he deserves more I think. But as far as composers that I like go, thats a tough one.
Victor Bruns may be a big name on my list.
Beethoven, Chopin, Debussey and Bach, I'd hardly consider them underappreciated (ESPECIALLY BACH AND BEETHOVEN)

Gustav Mahler?

Åke Sjöström 12-20-2007 06:34 AM
Mahler pffft. I think he's overrated.
Kalevi Aho-severely underrated. Simon Proctor too. Come on, Serpents and Contrabassoons and Tubas need love too-we're the black sheep of the orchestra. :(

PS. i take that back-Schoenberg is SEVERELY underrated-he's a goddamn genius-so is Toru Takemitsu-I know way too many classical composers lol

Chopin isn't underrated. He's excellent and he gets plenty of credit for it.

Paganini is very underrated. He's a virtuoso.

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?

Johan Strausse Jr

I think Sergei Rachmaninoff, Dmitri Shostakovich and Erik Satie are underrated, but I'm probably not knowledgeable enough about classical to have a truly educated opinion on that.

I still need to hear more Bartok, Liszt and Schoenberg.

Chopin
