[oyasumi]

I'll post my list in increments so it's interesting. With reasons, in no particular order.

1. Charles Koechlin - Les Hueres Persanes. It's a strange, alluring, polytonal masterpiece for the piano, and is truly unique in its method, and the moods it brings.

[springrite]

Let's keep it simple:

Webern, Op. 1-30.

Wow, I didn't realize Webern composed that many pieces. Maybe squeeze in a couple of works by Ives and Carter. 

Anyone who think this over and type out all the selections probably has too much time at hand. 

[Don]

Anyone who think this over and type out all the selections probably has too much time at hand. 

But there's no thinking required - sort of an automatic response.

[springrite]

But there's no thinking required - sort of an automatic response.

OK, so no thinking, just counting. 

[orbital]

Anyone who think this over and type out all the selections probably has too much time at hand.

Let's keep it simple:

Webern, Op. 1-30.

But how can you leave off the Second Cantata (op 31) and the wonderful orchestration of the Ricercare a 6 from the Musical Offering?
