1001 Pieces of Classical Music You Must Hear Before You Die

This list is based on the book 1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die (2008 edition).
However, for the purposes of this list, the recording doesn't matter. If you've heard the piece on any recording, or live at a concert, it counts. Some items cover a number of pieces (for example, Domenico Scarlatti - Keyboard Sonatas) - if you've heard at least one of the pieces then that counts as well.
Hope you enjoy looking through the list!
