As I mentioned below, I like Copland's Third Symphony myself, but I do know some listeners who aren't (or weren't) too thrilled by it. One was our friend, composer Don Cobb (no longer with us), who wrote the entry on Roy Harris for one of the Grove's Dictionary editions (perhaps "The New Grove" - can't remember now). Anyway, I remember playing him a recording of Copland's Third Symphony - he refused to listen to the end of the last movement, saying "I don't need to listen to any more - I already know what he's going to do!". He could not understand Copland's popularity! ;-)
