Thanks for another interesting class Republican Professor. While cubism is not one of my fav's I'd like to thank you for posting Picasso's Three Musicians. It's quite amazing. As far as the classical music series I would like to learn about more than Vivaldi's 4 Seasons :o) I played violin for 4 years in public school but switched to drums so I could make money on the weekends in my younger rock and roll days. Thanks again.

If you REALLY want to know more about classical music, the best series I can recommend is Robert Greenberg's "How to Listen to and Understand Great Music" from the Teaching Company. They are online and sell audio and video cassettes, DVDs and CDs. I love listening and learning in the car, so I get CDs. But the visual forms will show you more in terms of sheet music, pictures and history.

The Teaching Company has comprehensive sales every few months, and this series of 48 CDs, I think, is about $100 on sale and definitely worth it. Greenberg has a great senes of humor and will get you to HEAR. He's wonderful. (And so are the many other products of this company.)
