I'd say Mahler and Strauss are underappreciated before the obscure black composers

Especially Mahler. When schoenberg and stravinsky showed up, the writing was on the wall in regard to the end of the Vienna line.
Mahler knew hew was the last of that line.
Bernstein explained it with his lecture of Mahler 9.

"The Unanswered Question"

If you have the time, this is fantastic. About an hour.
Not just Mahler, but an lecture on the 20th century.
