March Music

It's been so long since I've had a chance to blog I'm worried there is no one left out there. Last year I made three large big music buys but that didn't work out very well so this year I'm going back to monthly purchases. With Classical music I'm continuing to build the major repertoire by instrument. I started with Cello and now it's Violin. The following is what Grove Encyclopedia of Music considers the most important works by some some of the more important musicians.
