Oh yeah, and it's for these guys:

I love Gordon Goodwin, someone would have to step Jazz Police too.

I feel like anything beyond baroque and classical era music like romanticism and impressionism would just make the shittiest charts ever haha, but baroque and classical era are so bland these days

You clearly know absolutely nothing about classical music, or about scintill's stepmania files. A lot of Debussy's and Ravel's music (impressionism, although Debussy hated the term) is fast and rhythmical and would make for excellent charts. So would Liszt's transcendental etudes (Romanticism). 'Anything beyond' would also include expressionism, some of which would lend itself very well for hard charts (a lot of Prokofiev's piano music), or fast-paced and rhythmically complex pieces like Ginastera's piano sonatas, pieces by Bartók, or Boulez' second piano sonata, just to name a few examples.

that's so cool dude awesome story
I was speaking in terms of specifically orchestral symphony music, not piano virtuoso solos tho soz

if you want to step a rubato 14 minute romantic piece that plays a chord every 15 seconds, which most of them are, be my guest

edit
someone step some of these these would make awesome charts

You realize nearly all the interesting classical charts on FFR currently are from romantic era composers, right? I'll remind you that Chopin and Liszt are some of the defining composers of the romantic era.
And there are PLENTY of pieces from impressionist-era composers (even orchestral stuff) that would make for great simfiles if we had the proper permissions for a good recording.

I feel like you might need to um, revise that statement.

EDIT- before you're like "amg Bolero that's just one phrase repeated for 10 minutes how could it be a good stepfile" I actually have a file for it already that plays with color theory and layering to different instrument patterns and it's fun as fuck. I just don't have a good recording to sync it to
