Reposting the three "JRPG title screen" adaptions I've done so far together as one mp3 (because it won't let me attach three mp3s...)

1: Title Screen For RPGs With A Crystal (Chant Epique, Sergei Lyapunov)

2: Title Screen For RPGs With An Airship (Trombone Concerto, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov)

3: Title Screen For RPGs With A Sword Stuck In The Ground At An Angle (Le Tambour Bat aux Champs, Charles-Valentin Alkan)

At this point I think I'm quite serious about finishing a complete resource pack.

Frederick the Great -- Flute Concerto No. 3 in C Major: I. Allegro
youtu.be/pHbW7djoOU8?si=7yn2yE

I enjoyed listening to this on KMFA yesterday

I confess that my interest in the piece is in part prompted by an extramusical motive, the identity of its composer. I have an interest in Frederick II, so I wonder if I would have enjoyed the piece so much if the announcer had introduced the work as a composition of a contemporary of the Prussian king, the now largely forgotten Friedrich Klein of Kotzen, musician in the von Bredlow household, and author of "Der Christliche Musiker", a work described by one musicologist as "an unenlightened conservative's amalgam of pedantry and bigotry."

Am I unable to know what my response would have been?
