2014 New Year classical music resolutions?

Graham Clayton · 01-07-2014, 01:48 PM

Has anyone made any New Years Resolutions regarding classical music? I have set myself the goal of listening to all 104 of Haydn's symphonies in the 2014 calendar year. I listened to #1 through to #5 last night - only 99 more to go!

Well, Good Luck with your resolution.

Haydn is really lovely to listen to!

I don't really set goals like that, but I have already bought a book about music theory. I'll try to get through that book.
Perhaps I'm going to listen to more 21st century composers this year and compare the theory with significant compositions.
Trying to fill up my gaps in knowledge.

Attend one live opera, compose one piece of music, listen to Bach Cello Suites, I'll stop there as I never keep New Year resolutions.
