The year 1899 saw the completion of three works still in the standard repertoire: Sibelius: Symphony No. 1 Schoenberg: Verklarte Nacht (string sextet version) Elgar: Enigma Variations Anyone want to hazard a guess which three composers might come up this year with a work likely to be standard a century hence? NOTE (esp.to Stirling Newberry): The answer "Unknown Composer" doesn't count. John Dalmas [log in to unmask] [To say nothing of Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte" and Debussy's Nocturnes. -Dave]
