    Encounters 1 - Top 10 Classical Works

    What are your top 10 selections of Classical Music? You really can’t create good list that is so small, but Professor Carol and Hank can have fun trying. Our lists include some standards and some that may be a little off the beaten path. Your list would probably be quite different, but the discussion here may help you make some new discoveries. Or maybe it will help you think about the reasons you agree or disagree with our selections. And, particularly if you’re new to Classical Music, we hope this gives you some new insights.

It was built in 1860 to be the burial site of the Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, a Russian princess, the granddaughter of Catherine the Great. Listen as Professor Carol explains how architecture tells an important story in the history of Weimar.
