A repository for music from the Baroque to the early Romantic. My interests are mainly within this period, so you will find composers such as the Bach & Mozart families, Händel, Haydn, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Schubert, Rameau, etc., with some Chopin, Mendelssohn, etc., but not so much Strauss, Wagner, Liszt (save through his transcriptions), Scriabin, Rachmaninov, and so on. Of course, rules are meant to be broken, and I've been finding music from beyond my specified time period (1600-1835) that I really enjoy, so those may be going up as well.
As there are already many fine classical channels on YouTube, I plan mainly to fill the gaps: composers who are underrated or underrepresented, rare pieces and performances, and performances of well-known works that I haven't found duplicates of already uploaded.
Enjoy!
*Anyone seeking the scores to these pieces would be advised to check out www.imslp.org. They have a vast collection. I'm posting this here, because I'm tired of linking to the scores in the videos.*
