For those who care, there’s a list below the fold of what I bought from iTunes last night based on recommendations in the previous thread. For those who don’t care so much about that, let me just note that trying to buy classical music on iTunes really is as annoying as everyone says– as dozens of people have noted, it’s hard to find specific pieces because they list everything by the name of the performer, not the composer.<\/p>\n

Even more annoying, though, from my perspective, is that many of the more important pieces are album tracks only. For example, they have approximately fifteen different versions of “Rhapsody in Blue” but most of those are only available by buying an entire album of other stuff. For somebody like me, who isn’t actually loooking to own the complete works of Gershwin right now, this is incredibly annoying. At least they did have one or two available as single tracks– the Mozart clarinet concerto that several people recommended seems to be impossible to obtain by itself, so I gave up.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the stuff I purchased:<\/p>\n
