Music Chat: 10 Great Pieces That Really Won't Change Your Life One Bit!

Inspired by the Classic FM Radio website's incredibly weird and stupid list of "10 pieces of classical music that will 100% change your life," here is my list of 10 equally wonderful (and in a couple of cases far superior) works that will do no such thing--thank goodness--but they will give you immense pleasure all the same:

1. Ravel: Mother Goose (complete ballet)
2. Martinu: Nonette
3. Gillis: Symphony No. 5 ½
4. Rota: La Strada (Suite)
5. Hindemith: Symphonic Dances
6. Shostakovich: Suite for Variety Orchestra
7. Debussy: Children’s Corner
8. Converse: Flivver Ten Million
9. Haydn: Fantasia/Capriccio in C major
10. Dvorak: Serenade for Winds in D minor
