## What is Concertino?

Finally, classical music and Apple Music working together!

Transform Apple Music into a magical classical music jukebox - browse composers, genres and periods, search for recordings, create playlists of multi-movement works, start no-nonsense radio stations and much, much more, for free!

- DESIGNED FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC
Say goodbye to tracks and welcome multi-movement works!

. SEARCH, FINALLY WORKING FOR CLASSICAL!
Search for recordings, not for albums or tracks: look for composers, works, performers or any combination of those.

. COMPOSERS, WORKS AND MUCH MORE
Browse 200+ composers and tens of thousands of works, conveniently organized: A to Z, popular, essential, by genre, by period. Set favorite composers and works and browse directly to them.

. CREDITS GO ALL TO THE ARTISTS
No more guessing games: each recording presents full credits of its performers: orchestras, conductors, soloists, singers, chamber groups...

. NO-NONSENSE RADIO STATIONS
The typical classical music online radio is pure chaos: the "sacrificial dance" from "The Rite of Spring", one prelude from "The Well-Tempered Clavier", then a slow movement from some Mozart piano concerto... stop this erratic movement swapping and embrace a classical radio that makes sense.

. 1, 2, 3, EASY AS A-B-C
Albums and tracks are convenient for popular music but not suitable at all for classical music and its large, fragmented works. Say hi to a classical music player designed for multi-movement sets, that presents both a detailed view of each movement and a global progress bar of the work as a whole.

. PLAYLISTS GALORE!
Organize recordings by setting them favorites or by creating playlists, which can be played randomically as a radio station.

* An active Apple Music subscription is needed for full music playback.

### 1/5 — Radio Button

*2023-11-14*

The app was perfect 5 until the radio button started failing.  What happened?

### 5/5 — Best

*2023-09-23*

This app is incredible! If you haven’t tipped or become a patron this is the way.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-03-14*

I love the option to build your own radio station. I haven’t seen this in any other app. Well done!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! ❤️

### 2/5 — Interesting idea; terrible iPhone formatting

*2023-02-23, version 1.22.0609*

I’d like to use this app, but the app display seems wider than my iPhone 12 mini’s width. The display is truncated on both your left and right sides, rendering the app unusable.

### 4/5 — It’s An Upgrade

*2022-09-10, version 1.22.0609*

I think the app is mostly pretty good and an upgrade over Music. The interface is quite nice. I do have a few complaints. Advancing a piece: Why must I lock the screen or pull the screen down to access Apple’s song advance slider to go forward or back in a piece? I don’t like leaving the app just to slide back to a part I really enjoyed. Inconsistent representation of composers: I search Paganini and I get an option that shows the composer Niccolo Paganini, then his works are broken down by essential, chamber and so on. I search Henri Vieuxtemps, and various pieces come up with his name in bold but he doesn’t have his own profile with his works broken down so I can easily browse his works. I find numerous composers have profiles with their works and others have their works available but not organized and scatter shot in a list. Favorites scattered: Why are my favorites scattered in a list? One of the things I was most hoping for where Apple Music fails, is organizing my music by composer. When I favorite something, why do I not instead see a list of composers I have with at least one piece saved? Where’s that Dvorak piece I favorited? In some odd spot in a list mixed with a bunch of other composers. I want to go to my Dvorak favorites and see all my Dvorak there and so on. Number of composers: I know, yours limited by OpenOpus, and eventually the list will grow and a community will be able to help it grow. When will the Open in OpenOpus open?

### 4/5 — Great way to discover classical music

*2021-09-24, version 1.20.1216*

The app has some quirks but is greatoverall.

### 5/5 — Great concept, suggestions

*2021-06-30, version 1.20.1216*

This is a WONDERFUL app. I think it has a very recognizable feel to classical musicians, similar to browsing the IMSLP catalog, except with a link to a recording at the end (though occasionally it won’t find recordings that I know are on Apple Music, particularly with older music, pre-Bach). It’s a great resource if you’re wanting to explore a composer’s oeuvre and immediately listen.

While it achieves everything it aims to re: being a classical music library, there’s something to be desired on the streaming end. While it is a great thing to group movements together as a single work (though still listing them as individual movements is a good thing), you’re unable to scroll to specific time-stamps within a movement; you have to listen all the way through. It’s just standard-fare for a streaming service, and should be added in the next update. 

Additionally, consider researching and adding famous composers of color to the catalogues: Boulogne, Price, Still, Eastman, and others. There are several lesser known composers in the groups by time period, some lesser known than these. It seems prudent to include these and more now rather than later.

Great job on creating a wonderful and very useful app.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your remarks and suggestions! In-track scrubbing is indeed on our roadmap. About increasing the composers library: it will eventually expand, but meanwhile you can find and listen to unlisted works and composers through search.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2021-02-27, version 1.20.1216*

I’ve wanted something like this to exist for so long! I’d have been thrilled just to find a classical music app that integrates with Apple Music, but the fact that this app looks so nice and works so well is just the icing on the cake. And it looks like the developers are just getting started, so I can’t wait to see where it goes from here!

### 5/5 — Honest alternative to Primephonic or Idagio

*2020-07-08, version 1.20.608*

Superior not just to most classical radio stations with questionable curating at best but also to such scams as Primephonic or Idagio that presume to charge subscriptions for similarly clumsy selection of good music.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-06-30, version 1.20.608*

Fantastic app, well laid out. Love the different categories for each composer. One of my most used apps!
