You have 80 minutes. Make them count.
When you say classical, does it include true classical works, or classical-style contemporary works as well?
Symphonic, orchestral, piano, quintets, etc.
Anything guys, any classical. Except classic rock. I mean, that's great and everything but this is not the thread. Unless we get no compilations going here in which case go ahead and post classic rock mix cd's :{
If I find a song that's 80 min long can I use that?![]()
