Late Romantic Period Composers
Bastardous Bassist:
Well, I think my only reservation in using those to explain the late romantic movement is that the person to whom you were trying to explain the movement has likely never heard of any of those composers, as he does not seem too involved in the concert music world.
However, I completely understand where you're coming from. Why bother mentioning Beethoven? Everyone's already heard of him, so you're not telling people things they already know. I mean, isn't the cool thing about talking about music getting into something one might not have heard yet? Well, that's what I think the cool thing is.
Mnementh:
Bassardist, exactly, I think the whole point of talking about music is to expand ones horizons. In part that's why I started this thread, to see what other people were listening to and to see if I could discover something new.

Somewhere between Joplin and Chopan, and so so very good.
I'm gonna post a couple of his tracks in the forced listening thread just to throw them off. I will link them here as well, stay tuned.
Bastardous Bassist:
Ah, good Nawlins concert music. I actually had a teacher in high school named Mr. Gottschalk. I've already posted some Adams, though it was one of his most accessible works (ha! They're all really accessible).
Borondir:
OK, well Beethoven isn't Late Romantic period anyway...;)
I wasn't being dense, I was just thinking the same thing as Bastardous Bassist that the person asking had no or very little grounding in art music, so your list doesn't bring him any closer to understanding what we are talking about.
No hard feelings, we all love this music and finding out more about it, but I think education for others is cool too...
I guess this is what we run into with a serious discussion of art music in a place like this, since most people are only vaguely familiar with it...
P.S. I understand what analogies are, it just seemed like your list was presented as a definitive representation of Late Romantic composers.
