Other movements are available .....

I've lost count of the number of times I've found myself listening to the 2nd movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 (aka that tune from 'Elvira Madigan') and the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony (aka that tune from 'Death in Venice'). It's possibly naive of me to believe that single movements are broadcast with the laudable intention of encouraging those hearing them for the first time to explore further, but if we have to accept that the practice will continue, can we PLEASE have a wider choice? There are some lovely cowbells in Mahler 6! As for Mozart - well, how about the last movement of Piano Concerto No. 17? Or is the choice restricted to pieces that have been used in films, TV programmes or advertisements? There's a lot more to Carmina Burana than its opening number!

suggest getting a cd player or access to a streaming service as the Beeb has followed CFm down the 'best bits' route for the last 10 years, it doesn't appear to have widened its audience merely garnered some CFm listener who dislike repeated adverts - on weekdays I don't bother even looking what's on until COTW - so far the lunchtime chamber concert still plays complete works + the afternoon concert can be good

My wife was just showing me a playlist that our National Public Radio —1000 items, billed as helping you to recover from 2020, all the usual suspects listed in the OP and more, downloadable apparently for a contribution to NPR. Playlists are big now, as per the discussion in the Tearjerker thread, thanks to streaming services.
In truth, haven’t Playlists always been with us? Popular radio has always had their Top 40, and and the two Classical stations that I listen to seem to cycle through the same works, either complete or excerpts, over time

On the Mozart I own up loving his piano concertos and though in the main like full works but I have a CDR on which is recorded end to end slow movements of PC17 to 27. OK I’ll sit in the naughty corner but only if I can listen to them on my cans! PS I have other ‘dining’ compilations.

I'm not sure how I gave the impression that I don't have a CD player or access to streaming services .... it's just that it's sometimes convenient to listen to the radio. I quite often listen to the Lunchtime Concerts, but isolated movements are unlikely to be an issue there!
