well, let's put it this way : it's about your wish list of works you want to listen to in the nearest future, maybe tomorrow, maybe when you order will arrive, maybe when your next Opera house visit, etc as for me after listening to many excerpts from Handel's Samson today I'm planning the...

Have you ever experienced an urge to listen to just one piece of music again and again? It's as if listening to this piece becomes your "idée fixe" and you can't stop listening to it everyday for many days and you don't get bored with it. It happens to me quite often, these days it was Schubert...

It's becoming harder and harder to listen to anything, since I can't listen how I want, and fixing it so I want to is just a headache, I'm just thinking of giving up on music all togther. Why bother listening if I can't do it the way I want to?
