I never knew that Boris Yeltsin had been a conductor.

The Emperor suspected they were right. But he dared not stop and so on he walked, more proudly than ever. And his courtiers behind him held high the train... that wasn't there at all.

I'm going away for a week tomorrow, so I will reveal the name of composer number 11 at midnight tonight if no-one has guessed it by then. I'm afraid this lot of conductors has got me stumped, unless no. 3 is Boris Yeltsin. There's food for the Separated at Birth thread here. Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.I never knew that Boris Yeltsin had been a conductor.
Snap! You got there before me! (it seems as if we're following each other around at the moment - see here, for example. |

Aha - 15 is Henry Cowell, one of the (still) unsung masters of the 20th century.
That's absolutely true, autoharp. I love Cowell's Saturday Night at the Fire House and his Piano Concerto is a remarkable piece. I love modern American masters like Ives, Ruggles, Crawford Seeger, Riegger ( Study in Sonority!) and Cowell. Did you know that Cowell's piano music was already being performed in Berlin during the 1920s? Grete Sultan knew his music long before she came to the United States. |

New Musical Resources should be read by every composition student in the country.
Cowell was so ahead of his time in terms of compositional ideas (just think of how many composers he influenced through his publishing activities, his thought on composition and his enthusiasm for World Music), and while it might be a shame that he never produced the focused realisation of many of his ideas from New Musical Resources, his work is shamefully underrepresented (and his place in music history woefully underplayed). Let's hope for better things and, if possible, try to rectify this situation.

Back to our mystery man:  His name isn't Ginastera, Novak, Sessions or Saminsky. He's a composer. He's a smoker. He's not from the Netherlands. There's a connection with Stravinsky. His music is being neglected. New hint: The episodes of Composer of the Week dedicated to the music of Roslavets and Myaskovsky were very interesting.  |

 Is it Roslavets then? I listened to the programme, but did not google for pictures (I usually do). |

No, it isn't Roslavets. The music featured in Composer of the Week was very interesting. |

Sterndale Bennett? Nope, but this composer knew Bennett quite well. He was (about 20 years) older than Bennett, but they shared at least one teacher. |

  Correct. Potter actually taught Bennett, but the teacher that they shared was Crotch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipriani_PotterHe seems to have been quite interesting. It's been a long time since I heard any of his music, but I thought that it was worth a second listen. 11. Cipriani Potter 12. Johannes Ockeghem 13. Frederick Delius 14. Jan Pieterzoon Sweelinck 15.
