Yes. > Of course, we can't know about "good stuff" that vanished and has not been > rediscovered :) Have you ever heard Mozart's son's piano music? There are some pieces (especially the Mazurkas) which are clearly superior in construction and emotional depth to many of the more popular -- and thus, by Graham's definition, "better" -- pieces of other composers.
