Well, I had written down some notes from the week I had spent up north and Bill Richardson had filled in for Jurgen Goth (sp), and wanted to download the following:

Violin Concerto #2 in E Major, Bach

Piano Concerto #2, Chopin

Handel's Water Music

Lilac Wine, Wild is the Wind (which turned out to be Nina Simone, who knew?)

Vivaldi, Concerto Alla Rustica (which turned out to be in the Four Seasons)

Sleeping Beauty

Haydn, "Sun Quartets"

Whew!

If you have any other suggestions, please send them along! I've found that listening to classical music while writing is really quite lovely.
