Frédéric Chopin's "Prelude in E minor" (Op. 28, No. 4), published in 1839, is in the public domain, as stated on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preludes_(Chopin) 2. Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps," known in English as "The Rite of Spring" was premiered in 1913 and is in the public domain in the United States, as stated on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rite_of_Spring I took the score image from a score in the public domain in the United States on imslp.org: http://imslp.org/wiki/The_Rite_of_Spring_(Stravinsky,_Igor) 3. A great book on lots and lots of different kinds of chords (with cited examples at the end of each section) is Vincent Persichetti's 1961 book "Twentieth-Century Harmony: Creative Aspects and Practice" published by W. W. Norton. http://books.wwnorton.com/books/webad.aspx?id=18716 I borrowed some of the structure for this video. 4. My tagline is a short quote from John Cage. http://johncage.org/
