Please follow the new support account for the #classical-music community, @classical-radio. This account will be posting "composer of the week" compendia as well as a variety of contests, resteems, and other posts.
If you would like to view #classical-music posts from a discussion oriented interface, please check out our Classical Music Forum on chainbb.com. It is not necessary to use it for posting in order to take advantage of the discussion view, but by posting through that site, 4% of your post's rewards will go to support the web site, and 1% of your rewards will go to @classical-music, which is used exclusively to power votes for posts that relate to classical music.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the content creators who are helping #classical-music related posting to grow on steemit.
We would also like to express our gratitude to our Facebook audience for sharing and "Liking" our posts to help raise steemit awareness around the classical music community on facebook.
2. Thank you to our delegators
We spend a good number of hours each week voting to support quality authors in the classical music topic area. That support is made possible by steem power delegations from @cmp2020, @remlaps, and the @classical.music sister account. Additional delegations are, of course, welcome!
3. Roundup issue #25
In the time since our last roundup post, we have shared 12 posts from the categories that we monitor on the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page.
Here are the articles that we shared on Facebook. A few of them are still eligible for payout, so you know what to do!
As with our previous roundup posts, each of these authors will receive a proportional share of this roundup post's liquid author rewards (Steem and SBD, not SteemPower).
note: Although we don't currently envision changing this practice, this reward sharing distribution is subject to change without notice, at our sole discretion.

xx - Because steemsql is now a paid service, we no longer have access to the data we were using to collect the "# posts in monitored categories" metrics. When time allows, we'll switch to using steem-python to collect this data. This may not be soon.
5. What is this initiative?
To introduce the wider community to steemit.com, we launched the facebook page, Steemit's Best Classical Music, and we are monitoring a number of classical music related categories (and others) on steemit. We share the best posts that we find about classical music on our facebook page.
The point of this is to raise steemit awareness and visibility among people on facebook who share an interest in classical music. Additionally, to bring additional attention to the best articles and authors that we find, we recently began sharing periodic roundup articles here on steemit.
Sharing guidelines
Standards for sharing are subjective, but here are some guidelines to show the kinds of the things that we look for:
Original steem blockchain content
Attractive formatting
Well written grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
Roughly 500 to 2,000 words in length
English language text (Sorry, that's the only one we know.)
Supplementary video embeds from other platforms - such as youtube - are encouraged when accompanied by original steem block chain content.
Word length expectations will be relaxed for videos of original performances or compositions by the steemit author.
Sharing of articles by a single author will be limited to about one or two per week.
6. How you can help.
This initiative is intended to promote steemit, and to strengthen the classical music ecosystem here, so if you share these goals we would appreciate your support! Here are some ways you can help:
Please visit the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page and share our links to let classical music enthusiasts on facebook know about our little community here on the Steem block chain.
We have not curated any of classical-music's posts yet. But you can encourage our curation team to review posts by visiting them regularly and by referring other readers. Because we give priority to frequently read content.
