  1. Musical Interlude: Here's another long-form video to play while you're doing something else, and it's another Berlioz symphony. This was written at the encouragement of Paganini and is based on a poem by Lord Byron, so it's got crazy Romantic cred.

    The four movements depict various scenes in Italy witnessed by Byron's Childe Harold: A scene in the mountains, a march of pilgrims, a serenade by a mountaineer, and finally, an orgy of bandits. (Hey, it's Berlioz AND Byron, what do you expect?)

    "Harold en Italie," composed by Hector Berlioz, performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
