Piston, Walter - Symphonies Nos. 2 & 6 - Seattle Symphony

---

---

"In some ways Piston was the dean
of American music. But as a result
of his intellect and his association
with the university environment, he
was considered to be a somewhat
dull, academic composer. For
anyone familiar with Piston's
music, it is clear that he is neither
dull nor academic, but incredibly
imaginative and innovative. It is
true that he uses classic forms, but
with his own language. I have
studied most of his output and I
have come to realize that he was a
master, an inspired composer."
