The new erato

Weinberg has viola stuff, though I can't claim I found it very Weinberglike.

DavidW

Not any of those mentioned.  Hindemith is getting warmer though, apparently the composer was inspired by him.

Paul McCartney copying an American! Oh, that was what those Little Richard covers were all about . . . .

Well, you had already told us it's not Shostakovich . . . pity, as the rhythmic patterning almost sounds like an echo of the 'percolating percussion' of the middle movement of the Fourth Symphony . . . .
