Piston 4

I could spend this entire blog going on about composers who are unjustly neglected. I wonder if anyone performs Walter Piston at all though there are several recordings. The fourth symphony is romantic, tuneful and well-crafted building to an emotional climax in the third, slow movement. It's not a great work, but I don't want to listen to great works all the time.
