This post lists all the music that appears in my fic (slash endurance test) A Bowl of Warm Air. I also write about why I picked them, so it's a bit of a director's commentary on the in-universe music picks. Obviously if you read this before you finish the fic, there are spoilers, which feels so ridiculous to say about my own fic, I won't lie.
There is a
YouTube playlist if you just want to listen to the music.
The videos are also embedded in the post below. For a couple of pieces I provide multiple recordings, but in the YouTube playlist I stick to just one for ease of listening (and I picked my favourite recordings, as my prerogative!). Well, apart from one song at the end. Rules are made to be broken...
I've gone for contemporary, within roughly the preceding ten years, recordings where possible, to sound as close to how it would have been performed at the time. With a couple of pieces where this provided not to be possible, I've used later recordings.
