Ouch, - yeah.
Schuman, Mennin, Piston, Hanson, Creston, (one might add Thompson, Persichetti, and others) - exactly the characters I myself would wish to read about.
But Stephen Albert, Kenneth Fuchs, Steven Gerber, Jennifer Higdon, Libby Larsen, Peter Schickele(!), Morton Gould, Lowell Liebermann, (a few others also I could name)?
Are these truly worthy of much more than passing recognition? (Perhaps they are, and I too would be Surprised by some exceptional Beauty were I to engage with their music as the authors have).
Enough essays on the more intriguing and commanding composers may redeem any felt inconsistencies, - or your antipathies converted to curiosity and even admiration in some cases.
But from outside it seems just so much a hodge-podge.
Please update your evaluation as you make your way through.
