If you're late to the party, or trying to think of a new theme, here's a list of themes from previous months.
June, 2010
#SchumannADay
This theme was in honor of Robert Schumann's birthday. It wasn't long before some people were also including the music of his wife, Clara Wieck Schumann!

#LivingComposerADay
Not all the great classical music has been written -- and not all the great composers are dead! In May we listened to living composers from all over the world. Some old masters, others young Turks, with quite a few composers inbetween those two extremes. Is classical music dying? Judging by the amount of music listened to this month from living composers, no.
April, 2010
#RussianComposerADay
To mark the birthdays of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Sergei Prokofiev (both born in April), this month we listened to music by Russian composers from 1800's up to the present.
March 2010
#ConcertoADay
If the composer called it a concerto, then it was fair game. In March Twitterers listened to everything from concerto grossos of the 1700's to repertoire masterworks to modernist chamber concertos for small groups of instruments.
February 2010
#SymphonyADay
Symphony's a pretty broad term -- covering everything from the sinfonias of the Baroque up to the offerings of modern composers. The selections by participating Twitterers was as far-ranging and varied as the recorded repertoire allowed.
