Unknown Composers
World Wide Web
According to Jim Mosk, creator of the website Unknown Composers, "Unknown isn't the best choice of word; obviously some people know about these composers, enough to have produced the records, CDs, and radio broadcasts where I heard their music. Still, I think it's a useful term for what I'm trying to describe: classical music that for whatever reason isn't often heard, but deserves to be. IMHO, of course. Or IYHO, if you'd care to share your own nominees, I'll help you set up your own section on Unknown Composers" . . .
