Classical Music Playlist
The music of Johann Strauss Jr. was by far the biggest influence in getting me to pay attention
to classical music. I have also included music that you may not associate with solo piano
performances like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and the "Jupiter - The Bringer of Jollity"
movement from "The Planets" by Holst. I also learned a piece of music that I heard on a nature
scene video that was repeatedly used as a late-night TV station sign off in the days of analog
television in the 1970's. It is "Pavane" by Faure.
