Classical Music for Halloween: Fifty Pieces

Last year, I compiled a list of fifty pieces of classical music approrpiate for Halloween (here)

In that article, you can find the sources of this list as well as links for biographies of the composers. This year, I have redone the list with a video or audio for each of the pieces, except for five for which I could not find an entry. If you can find any of these five online, please send me a message with a link, and I'll add it and give you credit.

I was asked why some of the titles are given in translation, while others are in the original language. I simply followed the usage of the lists from which I compiled this.

To continue your Halloween celebration, check out these articles:
"100 Halloween Movies for Free" (here).

"Free Audiobooks for Halloween" (here)
