    Here is some if you haven't heard. He became somewhat popular in the classical world in the 30's, but withdrew from the public eye while still a rising star, while continuing to compose for 50 years privately. As a result, much of his works are unrecorded or unperformed. His work is prized by many virtuoso pianists (which I am not), and his Opus Clavicembalisticum is remembered as the longest and most difficult piece of piano music ever written. This piece I shared with you, however, is more gentle, showing his neo-impressionist side really effectively.
