Symphony No.3
Connotations
Rodeo
Red Pony
Lincoln Portrait

Man, this is the third vote for Lincoln Portrait. I've got to re-listen to this work. I usually don't care for works with some kind of spoken narration but we'll see how it goes. Love Rodeo and Red Pony.

Very nice list indeed. Got to love the Clarinet Concerto.

I wouldn't have minded the list being a top ten. Then I could sneak in a few more.

Well, I enjoy making it as difficult as possible for people.

Piano Fantasy
Piano Variations
Piano Sonata
Piano Concerto
Pian Dance Symphony

Organ Symphony might be #6. I haven't listened to it in a while. I could then round out a top 10 with the Sextet, Piano Quartet, and possibly Statements or something.

Does anybody have a recording of William Masselos playing the Piano Variations?

[Karl Henning]

Organ Symphony
Symphonic Ode
Other symphonies

I see that I "cheated" by listing six pieces.  I need to get to know the Organ Symphony better.

This disconnect brought to you by The Friends of snypsss . . . .

Nice list!  No idea why I seem not to know the Pf Cto at all, at all . . . .

The Piano Concerto is a very cool work. Check out the Bernstein performance. It features none other than the composer himself at the piano. Great stuff.

Fans of the Pno Cto should check out Lou Harrison's.

Nice list, Jeffrey. I love The Tender Land Suite. Absolutely gorgeous. Symphonic Ode is also a great one.

Thank you John. 

I also have a soft spot for Danzon Cubano and Old American Songs.

[vandermolen]

Nonsense, Neal! All great pieces.

I agree.

Fans of the Pno Cto should check out Lou Harrison's.

I like Harrison's Piano Concerto, but does it really have that much of a connection to Copland's?

Only in being better.

No problem, Jeffrey. I can't say that I've heard the Old American Songs but will remedy this soon. I really like Danzon Cubano of course.

Dance Panels is a highly underrated work I think. It was in my top five. I like Inscape a lot as well.
