Your main point is entirely valid, I can’t argue, but, as a fellow-RVW completist, I simply want to hear anything he wrote – or might have written! The fact that ‘The Future’ might (ironically!) be backward-looking is neither here nor there, and there’s a good deal of less than great music by undoubtedly great composers that is still well worth hearing. Don’t forget either that there were nearly thirty years between ‘The Future’ and ‘Five Tudor Portraits'.
Thinking of works that composers intended to complete, I’ve often wondered just how much of ‘Thomas the Rhymer’ survives as accounts seem to vary.
