Wintter Watts

Please pardon if this has been previously discussed.

Another chap who seems to - after having experienced success (I once saw, him in a contemporary biography, compared to Wolf & Schubert) - fallen from the collective consciousness. According to Wikipedia he composed (in addition to the songs he WAS famous for) the following operatic/orchestral works:

Incidental music for The Double Life (M. R. Rinehart), 1906
Young Blood, symphony/tone-pageant, 1919
Alice in Wonderland, opera (R. B. Butler, after Lewis Carroll), 1920
Two Etchings for Orchestra, 1922
Bridal Overture
Pied Piper, opera
The Piper, symphonic poem, 1927

I would love to have the opportunity someday to love this music... or even hate it, whichever the case may be.  The vagaries of fashion are the cruelest vagaries I've ever come across...

Ack! No love for Watts...
