I would recommend to everyone not to donate or collaborate with the WMF
projects. At all.
The WMF only cares about donation dollars and actively supports bullies and
abusers on their sites.

Courtesy of User:La Pianista, we have good quality recordings of classical
piano works:

I particularly recommend her performance of Chopin's Scherzo No. 3:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chopin_-_Scherzo_No._3_%28re-recorded%29.ogg.
Quote (admittedly opinionated!) from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherzo_No._3_%28Chopin%29: "The Scherzo No. 3,
Op. 39, in C-sharp minor by Frédéric Chopin, completed in 1839, was written in
the abandoned monastery of Valldemossa on the Balearic island of Majorca,
Spain. This is the most terse, ironic, and tightly constructed of the four
scherzos, with an almost Beethovenian grandeur."
Hope you enjoy,
Pine
