While on another forum, I inquired about good places for classical music discussions and “Unsung Composers” was one of the responses I received. 

I doubt I can offer a lot to this group, but a lot of questions.  I don’t have an extensive musical background, although I love listening to classical music and have considerably broadened my tastes to include works that are not so popular/tonal as perhaps I would have required in the past.

While I think I can grasp the “unsung” descriptor, I am a little concerned that I might mis-label some composers.  It is possible I may inquire about a composer I’m not particularly familiar with, but it will turn out is the most-respected composer of a specific genre/instrument/style.   Feel free to set me straight though!

I’m looking forward to being a part of this forum.

I am sure that we are all pleased to have you on board, as it were. And don't worry at all about mis-labelling composers: we are used to to pooling our collective ignorance on this forum!!

So, welcome!
