No Haydn piano sonatas. No Mozart piano sonatas (except the 1st movement of the C major). No Beethoven piano sonatas (except No. 20 & the 1st movement of Op. 27-2). No Bach inventions or partitas. No Handel keyboard suites. No lengthy Debussy. No Brahms (except maybe a piano intermezzo). Probably no Ravel (except a section or two from Mother Goose).

Chris follows the K.I.S.S. principle.

TRIVIA: Which of the above-listed composers did Christine quote musically (& very briefly) during a bunch of Fleetwood Mac shows in 1980?
