A truly wonderful introduction to Classical music. Great course content but perhaps most importantly, Professor Wright is perhaps one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning from.

The content is great. However, it does take ages to complete this course. 4 hours on modernism and post-modernism is really painful.

I really felt like I learned a lot, and can now at least partially understand the differences in the classical music I listen to.
