Tako,
can you get more specific about WHICH european classical music represents
Victorian values in its melody??
Since almost all "Grand Opera" was written on the continent, where culture
ridiculed the British and held "Victorian" habits in disdain, I don't see
how it could contain hold-over values.
G & S is a good candidate, but the music mocks the conventions of the time
(as do the lyrics).
So which european classical music are you referring to?
