Manny that is a pretty good observation. I never thought of that, but the bigger the name the better the music. It's true you should start off with big names like Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, his music is very beautiful, and he has a big name with many letters to it, and avoid small names like Carl Orff, and whatever you do, do not listen to Carmina Burana.
