2.0 out of 5 stars It's only snippets of the music!, February 11, 2006

Mimi Ann "Mommyo" (Coastal South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Classical Music 101 (Audio CD)

This CD only contains 30-60 second long snippets of each of the pieces. It could be a teaching tool but is not something you can just put on to listen. It does contain reference to popular TV and Film works that contain the music.

Recommended by my daughter's school to help her learn titles to music we've all heard. Fantastic collection with good excerpts from each piece. Very helpful.

This review is from: Classical Music 101 (Audio CD)

This is a great CD, however, it needs to be listed as just "snipets" of classical pieces - they are just excerpts from each classical theme.
