Hi there.

Last year I started building openclassical.com, a site that aims to make it easier to discover and listen to classical music.  It provides logical navigation for composers & works, then integrates things like YouTube, IMSLP and Wikipedia.  It is free to use.

I'm now designing the next version of the site, and I would like to ask for any feedback or suggestions that you might have.

Here are a few links:

home page: http://www.openclassical.com

Beethoven page (we list his complete works) : http://www.openclassical.com/composer/Ludwig_van_Beethoven

Beethoven work browser : http://www.openclassical.com/composer/Ludwig_van_Beethoven/all_works/

Beethoven analysis page : http://www.openclassical.com/composer/Ludwig_van_Beethoven/analysis/

Timeline page (interactive) : http://www.openclassical.com/composers.php?focus_composer=Ludwig_van_Beethoven

We list the complete works of many composers, including Chopin and Rachmaninoff, and the work browser & analysis pages work for all composers we index (with the exception of early composers for whom dates of works are not known - the analysis cannot be done there).

All feedback and comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

any place that includes Lenny's '53 eroica gets a thumbs up from me! [now if only the videos actually worked]

very cool to explore personally neglected works or composers with immediate youtube clips and comprehensive data.. i like the visual element.  and i suspect ill be using it a lot

cheers
