I’m putting together a list of musicians that we’ll study over the next five years — yes, five, one musician a month. By that time Paco will be 16 and then maybe we can explore gospel or even pop music (not that they don’t get to listen to these now — no way to avoid it completely).
In the past I’ve been dependent on the 4real forum for which musicians we are studying, but since we have many recordings here at home and I have my own interests to pursue, I’ve decided to go with my own list:
- St. Hildegard von Bingen
- Ockeghem
- Gombert
- Palestrina
- Gesualdo (Lent 2008?)
- Corelli
- Pachelbel
- Purcell
- Albinoni
- Telemann
- Handel
- Bach
- Scarlatti
- Haydn
- Clementi
- Mozart
- Beethoven
- Paganini
- Czerny
- Schubert (March 2008)
- Berlioz
- Mendelssohn
- Chopin
- Schumann
- Liszt
- Wagner
- Bruckner
- Verdi
- Strauss II
- Foster and Sousa
- Brahms
- Saint Saens
- Bizet
- Tchaikovsky
- Dvorak
- Grieg
- Elgar
- Puccini
- Mahler
- Paderewski
- Debussy
- Sibelius
- Rachmaninoff
- Ravel
- Bartok
- Stravinsky (Spring 2008)
- Prokofieff
