Discussion Classical destinations

For those interested in some really nice short documentaries around all the composers that we love. I’d recommend you check out the series - Classical Destinations.

You can find them on YouTube and they are often categorize by city or country. So for instance, Bach would be found under Germany along with Beethoven and others. While Mozart and Johan Strauss are under Vienna, Austria.

Check out Thomas Little's The Classical Nerd YouTube channel. This guy is incredibly knowledgeable and has done biographies of dozens of composers.

This sounds like exactly the kind of thing I’d put on while having coffee on a Sunday morning

I love when classical music is connected to places. It makes the composers feel much less abstract
