Hello HN! I am really excited to show you Classical Music Only, a social website dedicate to discover, listen and discuss classical music. I actually tried to do a "show HN" thread 6 months ago when the first alpha release was published but somehow the link was dead and nobody saw it except me:D. Now the website is in beta phase and has become much more mature since first published. The website has many features that you can be interested in, among them:

    * Create classical music lists, listen to them and share them to the whole world
    * Ask for work recommendations and let the community answers you by adding and voting for classical works that are relevant to your question
    * Discover new works through personalized recommendations on your homepage, using the categorized basic lists filtered by periods, composers and genres or using community list
    * Open discussion and start debates about your favorite composers and works
    * Review classical works, read others' reviews
    * Discover the most favorited recordings for any classical work. Add your favorite recordings
    * Follow your friends and favorite users to see their posts on your homepage
    * See latest posts (discussions, reviews, recordings) of your followed composers on your customized homepage feed
    * Share stories, blogs and news about anything related to classical music
    * Listen to top works filtered by period, genre or composer. If you're bored, you can listen to a random masterpiece using a magic button on your homepage!
I am really excited to read your feedbacks and happy to answer any question.

Pretty long and off-topic shot, but would you (or anyone else) happen to know this piece? We've been looking for a name for years:

On-topic, how can I listen to a performance? I clicked through to a few lists but haven't found any buttons to do that on the site.

Congratulations! I am not able to access the site, it is blocked because of 'Secure Connection Failed' in Firefox 57.0.1.

Have you tried writing down the Parsons Code [1] for the melody and searching against a large corpus? E.g., https://www.musipedia.org/melodic_contour.html

That's interesting, I'll do that now, thanks!

EDIT: Not much luck :/
