We'll never know, but that doesn’t mean we should lightly set him aside as a minor figure. He created a substantial body of fine music, thought deeply about his art and subtly rethought and repositioned every piece of music that came his way. Think of him as a photographer changing the lighting and thus transforming the picture. Sure, he's "underrated", but that's easily rectified: just listen to him. – Brian Morton
