Classical (Modern, Contemporary)
Note about the tracklisting: on the back inlay and in the booklet every track is designated with the composer's name but as these are classical pieces these aren't the actual track titles. These pieces fall in the category of Theme & Variations pieces and as such each track starts with an arrangement of the theme followed by a set of variations (numbered). Based on the information in the liner notes every track has been named accordingly and the Composed By credit has been assigned based on the tracklisting.
