Mac’nClassicalCheese - Apr 18, 2024


Today's theme is Storytime #2. The last time I used this theme I think I focused on ballets and operas, but THIS time I focused on overtures...I say focused, but only for 1/2 the episode...and that's including Firebird Suite. I threw in a cello concerto for kicks, and added the presto from the Dvořák sextet to end with something fun. Then there's some elevator music peppered in there too for the transitions.
