This blog is for people who want to learn to appreciate classical music. All music was chosen for accessibility and outstanding merit. Most have won awards and reflect my 60+ years of listening. Most classical music is just the popular music from the past and needs no more training to enjoy than pop music or eating ice cream. It is dedicated to Dr. Joe Stocco who mastered all western classical music by age 12 and introduced me to it when I was 13. My public playlists are on Spotify at jbritell.
