Does anybody know of a good resource to learn about the difference between all the different eras, like romantic, renaissance, baroque and so on? Do I just read every article on Wikipedia to get an overview of the differences?

It wouldn't be a bad place to start.
If you prefer books then the Vintage Guide to Classical Music is useful.
Going to enroll in a composition course in September. I'll study in a renwoned conservatory, and in my country education is free, so I won't really have to worry about crippling debt.
What should I expect? What will be the study requirements like? (I know I'll study 8 hours everday, I wonder if this will be enough to be always ahead) What is studying composition like? What are the most entertaining parts? And the most frustrating ones?
I want to bring some small compositions to my piano teacher. I've finished one so far. I'll bring it to him tomorrow, but I don't know if he'll be able to sight read it (and to be fair, I really want to hear it at this point). To pianists who are more competent than me, could you sight read these bars? (the tempo is in the clyp)
This should be played with the right hand only, the meanwhile the left one plays a simple melody (which I have left out from both the score and the clyp). Is there anything awkward which could ruin the first ''performance'' of this piece?
