The local audio group is meeting this afternoon and members asked for "an introduction to classical music." Not wishing to teach music history class, a few of us put our heads together and decided to offer simply a sampler based "classical music we enjoy, perhaps you'll find something here that strikes your fancy..." We'll only be playing snippets, unfortunately. Nothing longer than 8 minutes. Here's the planned playlist, that will surely change based on requests...
