On this first day of the new year, we would like to wish a happy and successful 2018 to all of our readers, and especially the clasical music communities on Facebook and Steemit.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the content creators who are helping the #classical-music related posting genres 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. Roundup issue #17
It has been hard to keep up with this posting during marching band season, but since our last roundup post, there were 183 new articles posted in the categories that we monitor, and we have shared 7 posts from those and other categories on the Steemit's Best Classical Music Facebook page. Now that marching band season has ended, we hope to be more active with our efforts to introduce Steemit to the Facebook classical music community.
Here are the articles that we shared on Facebook.
| Author | Title | Potential Payout Date | Reward Sharing Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| @senzenfrenz | STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 56: Frédéric Chopin "Aeolian Harp" / "Harfenetüde" As-dur op. 25 Nr. 1 | expired | 1/6 |

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 curently envision changing this practice, this reward distribution is subject to change without notice, at our sole discretion.)

4. What is this initiative?
To introduce the wider community to steemit.com, we have 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 also share 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 one or two per week.
- To avoid spamming our facebook audience, sharing on facebook will generally be limited to one or two posts per day.
5. How you can help.
