| Introduction to the pages of this site Everyone knows Bach, Beethoven, Chopin etc. Few people know Alexandersson, Braga Santos, Fliarovsky ... which is a pity, since much interesting music has been written by unknown or lesser known composers. So I started this website about less(er) known classical composers. In the weeks and months (and years, maybe) to come, I will try to produce pages containing information about these composers, and will collect videos playing their music. I will occasionnaly write a page about composers who have some reputation but who don't deserve this, in my humble opinion (John Cage is a miserable example). We should not forget, of course, about all the beautiful music written by composers who are known to everyone. So I created a link to a site that contains videos playing music by the 'great' composers (as well as music by lesser known ones), see (also) the link to the left of this page. The vast majority of the music related links on this site is provided by music lovers who uploaded their music to YouTube. If you want to know 'who uploaded what', click on a music link on this site, then click on the YouTube logo at the bottom right. That'll give you the URL of the person who uploaded the video. Visitors who want to ask me questions or send me valuable suggestions can do so by clicking here or on 'Contact' at the bottom of the page. Enjoy, Arie Molendijk May 2012. |
