Rather than a tired old subjective account of someone else's taste, ask this question:
'what are 10 great aspects of classical music that can be investigated'.
I'll begin:
1. Pre-baroque composition (such as consort music)
2. 12-Tone/serialist composition
3. Large scale baroque works
4. Solo instrumental work
5. Choir arrangement
6. Electro-acoustic music
7. Chamber music (after the 17th century)
8. Influence of popular folk forms
9. Influence of political movements
10. Visionary and eccentric composers
Part of the fun is asking yourself why these terms are used, and if they are valid. I must admit, I made some of them up.
