The main focal point of this collection of historically important or simply musically enchanting pieces is to give the listener an opportunity, on one hand, to hear music that is, perhaps, less well-known than some of the more familiar material; and, on the other hand, to trace, if just a bit briefly, the development of what is termed "classical music" between the centuries. Over time, the project has transformed into something a bit more ambitious than I originally intended. Firstly, though in the beginning I was not thinking about the possibility of presenting any pieces composed before the nineteenth century, I recently began straying outside of the romantic period to include rare material from some of Mozart's contemporaries and I hope to continue doing so, perhaps, even extending my attention to the realm of early music. Secondly, though at first I concentrated on opera, I've also been trying to include music from other genres, in particular, orchestral music and ballet. This is also one of the paths that I would want to pursue in the future. As of now, I am hoping to simply present a complete overview of nineteenth century music, i.e. at least one piece of music for every year of the period =D. Lastly, I must say that I have been enjoying this little venture immensely and I do hope that you, the listener, will find it a winning collection =).
