Around where I was running through the 30th, I felt I had selected too many pieces of work of the classicism age. Here, if permitted, I'd like to add 10 more pieces of work by all means.

40 is very rigid. Now I've finished my selection 40 and feel something like that.
That's good for you, and I am happy you might consider that way. But for me, essential is in practice synonymous with listening to it often. Pure and simple. Here are my next ten essential standard listening. As I said, it's ArtMusic's list of the top 40,....
For example: I listen to Bach's Trio Sonatas for organ more often than the Saint Matthew Passion, much as I love that work and though its more "essential".
And yet this is not a reflection of your Current Listening posts.That's good for you, and I am happy you might consider that way. But for me, essential is in practice synonymous with listening to it often. Pure and simple. Here are my next ten essential standard listening. As I said, it's ArtMusic's list of the top 40,
