I will s...Well, allow me to school you. No, wait.<br /><br />I will say that two of my favorites are missing; Specifically:<br />Ginastera, Danzas Argentinas<br />Bartok, whatever it is you had me listen to<br /><br />My reason for these is:<br />Danzas Argentinas -- Story told in music<br />Bartok -- Beautifully coherent dischord<br /><br />However, I don't know enough of the previous lists to know whether these aspects are covered.
