What would you recommend?

Hi

This is 5 pieces of music I currently have in a playlist on Spotify. I'd love to add to it but not necessary with the usual best of Classical music. Any recommendations would be great? I'm a classical music newbie really....

Well, for a start you can try the other Gymnopedies. Also, you only seem to have an exerpty from the Carnival of the animals, so you can grab the whole thing. Does spotify not suggest music to you? I don't honestly know a whole lot about classical either, so i often just let a youtube playlist play and see what takes my fancy.
