Due to Lockdown restrictions, I have sadly come to a complete impasse with anything operatic this month, in terms of realising my own projects…
So! I have decided to listen to go on a symphony journey in some sort of historical order by composer starting with Beethoven (I’ll go back to Haydn and Mozart afterwards - couldn’t choose the important ones for them!). I’ll keep this list updated and see how far I get in the next few weeks!
Day 1: Beethoven 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Day 2: Beethoven 7, 8, 9; Schubert 3, 5, 8, 9; Mendelssohn 1
Day 3: Mendelssohn 2, 3, 4; Schumann 1, 2
Day 4: Schumann 3, 4; Brahms 1,2
Day 5: Brahms 3, 4, Bruckner 1
Day 6: Bruckner 2, 3, 4
Day 7: Brucker 5, 6
Day 8: Bruckner 7, 8
Day 9: Bruckner 9, Mahler 1
Day 10: Mahler: 2, 3
Day 11: Mahler 4, 5
Day 12: Mahler 6, 7
Day 13: Mahler 8
Day 14: Mahler 9, 10
(I lost track of the days, but Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Nielsen are next)
