Compact Discoveries Program 15: "Favorite Funeral Music"

Music lovers can make the task of writing their last will and testament far more interesting by naming the musical selections they would like to be played at their funeral. Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" string quartet might be appropriate for some, but Fred Flaxman chooses piano pieces he never managed to play well while still alive, played (by more gifted pianists) as he would have liked to play them.
