that by now most professional orchestras have collected the parts for most Bartok works in their music library. Expense is going to be a big factor in the frequency at which any work is played, so orchestras are going to prefer works for which they already have the parts, and after that, works that are out of copyright.
I'm still waiting for the ascendancy of Martinu. I think his music would go over well with audiences. And there are dozens of mid-20th Century composers who wrote wonderful, accessible music that is just not heard in our concert halls.
