Thread: Alternative Classical Music Project--removed works

This is the companion thread to the Alternative Classical Music Project:

Alternative Classical Music Project

Click on the link if you would like to participate in the project, or just to see what is going on--everybody is welcome. Here are the rules:

Everyone can add one work every day, but then they have to remove a work. The same person is not allowed to add the same work twice within a month once it has been removed. Other people can add that work anytime again (within the limits of one per day). You can not remove the same work twice within a month. Most importantly, have fun! This is not a perfect list of the best works, but a list where we want to highlight some good works. Discussions are welcomed. Bashing is not.

I'll be updating this thread at the end of each month with the list of works removed during that month. The purpose is to keep an ongoing list of the removed pieces for future reference (and future listening).

Your comments are welcome, but the best way to have your say is to participate!
