I'm taking this week and a bit of next week off from the practice challenge (as moving is consuming my life rn) and I figure I'd benefit from more academic/listening studies during this process since packing is incredibly crippling😓 7/17/17: This is a partial view of my listening log from the beginning of the summer, I try to get in an excerpt a day (or at least every 3 days). Today's recording is Brahms's Symphony 4 in e minor, specifically the Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Haitink. I used to be bad about not actively listening so I keep track of what I listen to in a journal, and if I have the score I'll make notes of the contrasting styles/performances.
