>>19164148If you like to approach things first building a basis for then learning more I suggest you first to listen to Baroque authors like Monteverdi, Lully, Vivaldi and Bach for then passing to Mozart and learning about the gallant style to begin.
If you prefer to deal with things connected to your special interests find an author that talks about something you are interested to (like Lully for ballet or Wagner if you like norse mythology) and then learn more about other authors finding connections with your favourite one.
