Description

Every week, I choose one piece from one composer to pick apart and look at in detail. I look at the stories behind it, I examine the composer and what inspired him/her to compose that music and of course offer my own opinion on the piece! New episode every Sunday. Find me on Instagram: @classicalmusic_insta, Facebook: Classical Music Stories and email: [email protected]
