Annotation

The 2-disc box set title is "50 Classical Masterpieces". Each disc is labeled as "25 Classical Masterpieces".

The box and case for disc 1 list 25 tracks, while the disc itself has 28 tracks. Tracks 1-15 are listed correctly. The disc has an additional unidentified track between the Bach Gavotte (track 15) and the Torreador's March (listed as track 16, actually track 17). The next 8 tracks (up to the Chopin Etude) are correspondingly off by one track number. The final 3 tracks (26-28) are unidentified, although one may be Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto 1.
