    Lots of theme entries, and some fun facts in there! 18D and 19D seem to have some typos

      I learned a lot! Great balance with the crosses to give me just enough to get through despite my lack of music knowledge!

        Didn't know most of the pieces, but everything was accessible and inferable. Nicely done!

          Really nice! 12A. Twenty years after the riot at the premier of Rite of Spring. People get a little crazy over their tunes.
