Back to Favorites - Or Not?

[Karl Henning]

Sure, but I am not a composer. I am a listener whose time is limited and who perforce must make choices and selections.

I trust I did not imply that what is true for a composer must be true for all listeners, even as I am sure you do not imply that composers needn't make choices and selections.  😇

It is about prioritising. Music is very important for me. That's why I have kept exploring. Not always very actively, but at least passively.

Yes, it's about prioritizing. With advancing age this becomes increasingly relevant.

Thanks for that -- new to me and his work seems interesting.

Nice!

If I were to listen to nothing else until I have finished listening to all the recordings I have of my Top Ten Composers, at my current average rate of about four CDs per day, it would take me at least one full year only to get past Haydn and Mozart.

So much music, so little time.

Ars longa, vita brevis.

Yes, it's about prioritizing. With advancing age this becomes increasingly relevant.

This is so true step by step and incrementally, until one is once and for all forced to choose: what will be the last piece of music I'll ever hear?
