Just wondering if there is any good classical music that would go well with reading this manga. Classical isn't my forte' so I'd appreciate any recommendations thrown my way. Cheers

Damn, just realized I messed up the title.

vivaldi, chopin, bach, beethoven, brahms, mozart, haydn

I usually read listening beethoven or mozart

If you're still looking for some music, here's some violin/piano-oriented music to get you started.

Sorry, I replied kind of late (like nearly three months) with my suggestions for musical reading accompaniment.  For the kind of violin played in the manga, I would recommend Caprice Viennois, an album by Isaac Stern of Fritz Kreisler's music, arranged for violin and orchestra.  The first two pieces are Liebesfreud and Liebesleid.  I'd also recommend Nathan Milstein's Vignettes on EMI classics.  It's 24 "miniatures" for violin and piano and has a wide selection of pieces.  For piano, I'd first suggest Rachmaninov's six preludes Op. 23 and seven preludes Op.32.  He was the composer who transcribed Liebesfreud and Liebesleid for piano.  The recording I have is Sviatoslav Richter, and several of these preludes, along with Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto won the Grand Prix duDisque back in the 1960's.  Other pieces I'd recommend for this manga (so far) are Beethoven's piano sonati, and just about anything by Chopin.  Schubert and Schumann solo piano would also go well with the story.  For Arima and Nagi's performance, I'd recommend Earl Wild's Virtuoso Piano Transcriptions (re-released on CD) which contains both Sleeping Beauty and Liebesleid.
