And I'm certainly willing to reconsider my choices. As I implied earlier, the selection is based on a consensus of lists from a variety of places, not just my personal choices, in fact the later contributed minimally to the final result.
However, Beethoven string quartets is a interesting case in point: my consensus method turned up NO LvB quartets but I forced one middle and one late quartet because they're great as I agree . On the other hand, to say that a newbie ought to investigate all Beethoven's quartets is definitely overkill. The same goes for his piano sonatas from which I selected, IMO, a sufficient representive sample.
I just might act on your suggestions for a Bach contata or two, and Haydn's piano trio which are great.
To say I suggest Elliot Carter's music "over" Mozart's Così fan tutte isn't the way I look at it. That is, I'm not necessarily saying Carter's Symphonia: sum fluxae pretium spei is "better" than Cosi, only that given the other Mozart operas on the list, the topic is covered and we ought move on to something else.Bill Bailey
