I wouldn't and didn't do it. But I'm me (a real revelation). I don't know why I like the music I do, and I've stopped analyzing this topic. I have absolutely no intellectual connection with music. That doesn't limit my horizons: I'm always searching for music I can connect with, and it doesn't all sound the same, or come from same period (although I seem to favor romantic and early modern composers).What's the connection between Bach's cello suites, Bartok's Six String Quartets and Sibelius' various tone poems? I like them.
If you like guitar music, pick up almost anything by Julian Breame. "Baroque Guitar" is a good place to start.
If you like french horns, Dennis Brain is the artist to listen to.
If you like the clarinet, try the artist Sabine Meyer.
If you like the violin, Nathan Millstein's album of Bach's sonatas and partitas is incredible, as are Bartok's Six String Quartets played by the Emerson String Quartet.
Anyway, that's my approach. I started with instruments and that led to artists and composers and that led to...., and so on.
