Have you ever wondered about composers who succeeded in writing one smashing piece, but were otherwise forgotten? This week on Exploring Music, we’ll get to know some of these immortals for their other compositions, including Dukas, Ponchielli and Glière.

Wow, what a treat! Music for the Masses is wonderful. But it's making me into a night owl.
Ponchielli. How lovely. I felt like I was back in my grandmother's apartment in Brooklyn when I was a young child 50 years! Thank you. Your programs are a delight.
Thank providence (Minneapolis?) for a show that isn't a formula, or a strategy or a game plan. Your show is just YOU, including you amazing ability to answer a musical question just before we're about to want to ask it.
Don't ever be persuaded there's a better way, and stay well!
To: Bill McGloughlin: Love it, love it, love it.. Love 'Exploring Music' - your comments, your knowledge, the topics, the music, your jokes. I kvelled and laughed out loud at the 'letter from camp - hello momma, etc.' But Bill: 11:00 PM until 12 midnight?? Oy vey. I'm a psychotherapist with my own office and frequently start my day in the office at 7 or 7:30 AM!!!! How can I miss it?Been listening to QXR 60 years!! Will send $$$
