Yes, I've owned individual discs from this set. I think I still have one at home. If anyone wants it (in the US), let me know by PM.

Never mind. I have a taker.

I think you will be very pleased with those, Dave. I got them one at a time, took years. But I'm pleased with them even though they have been supplemented since. :)

I have it complete, which means I get the spurious Op 3 SQs too! ;D

I've put together a shortish playlist of works by Polish "Gurnian" composers from the list posted earlier. It contains works by composers whose names are in red above. Plus a small piece by Maciej Radziwiłł, who wasn't really significant enough to include in my list but the piece is nice enough to add to the playlist. ;D

For me, the entire period from the end of the Period of Polyphony (Baroque, if you will) to the beginning of the Period of Cacophony, in other words, the Period of Homophony, Melody and Tonality, constitutes a single age. If you were inclined to label it, and wanted to call it something that people could relate to, then "Classico-Romantic" would work. The musical style trends swing back and forth throughout the period, sometimes more light and elegant, sometimes more dense and textured, but always within certain boundaries, like tonality and homophony. :)

Very interesting Gurn, but this would extend the upper limit of your timeframe much further than 1830. Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms, Dvorak, Grieg, Tchaikovsky (to mention but a few names) certainly fall within those boundaries. Even Rachmaninoff!

Where do you draw the line then?

I think for Gurn those composers already fall into the Period of Cacophony. ;D

I'll try to. It's a big job, and I will get harpooned from all sides, but screw 'em...

How about 100 favorite works? :)
