Charles Ives

I have heard a few classical composers on AM that relate to the prog genre,...ie.... Mozart and Beethoven; However, I would like to suggest that a rather unknown composer by the name of Charles Ives might enlighten the inquisitive mind far more than the "mainstream" composers named above...... Ives' Piano Sonata No. 2 (particularly the "The Alcotts" movement) is an excellent compostion..... dissonate and emotional...the trademark of most prog.. Even if AM does not add this to their playlist, anyone interested in THE most significant "unheralded" American Composer of the 20th century should check this piece out...You WON't be dissappointed.
