YMMV / Charles Ives

---

• Vindicated by History: A textbook example: his music was largely ignored and unperformed during his lifetime in spite of some high-profile composers (Arnold Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, Bernard Herrmann) singing praises of his work. In fact, at the time, he was better known as an insurance agent who helped fund other composers. After his death, his music gradually gained more recognition, and some of his pieces were finally performed in full, most notably Leopold Stokowski's premiere of Symphony No. 4.
