Composer's Style

NOV 5, 2012:  One way to find out more bout a composer's style is to listen to non-piano works by that composer.  Whether it's symphony or chamber music, you'll learn a lot about how this composer works in other media than solo piano.

Often, you can apply what you learned from an orchestral work to a solo piano work written by the same composer, because that composer may be thinking orchestrally.

At any rate, it fills in a lot of gaps of knowledge to be familiair with a composer's output other than just solo piano.
