Samuel Barber · 1910–1981 · American
| Composed | 1944 |
| Before you announce it | WITHDRAWN BY THE COMPOSER. Barber withdrew the symphony in 1964 and Schirmer destroyed the score and parts at his request; it survives because a set had gone to England, and it was republished after his death. A conductor programming it is programming a work its composer suppressed — worth knowing before it is announced, and worth checking hire availability early. |
