People often look to classical music for Valentine’s Day inspiration. Which is great, unless your inspiration is Carlo Gesualdo. While there are plenty of bad mixes (and one actually good classical music for sex playlist), looking directly into the private lives and letters of composers also offers a trove of possibilities for everyone from your eternal innamorata to your occasional “U up?” We at VAN have collected ten of the best, suitable for a myriad of occasions. (If you care to go…erm…deeper, we’ve also ranked the sex lives of 30 female composers.)
