In this cold season what do you unsung fans suggest as unsung complement to too often heard "warm bath" tunes like Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini'?
My personal favorites from 2010 are Arensky 2nd movt of 2nd Piano Trio and Gliere's Intermezzo Op 9 no 1 for double bass and piano.
Saint-Saens 4th PC, final movement; someone should write a hymn with it !

It actually is a hymn. It's a transformation of the chorale theme from the 2nd movement. ;D
If Bax's 'November Woods' may be called unsung, the Big Tune where the lovers have come in out of the rain. Like Rachmaninoff, it modulates seductively and has a memorable melody.

Thought that's the way it sounded ! OK, any volunteers to set some words & get it into 'Ancient & Modern' ?
