My edition seems to want to shed its pages - and it‘s only February. How are you managing a reread @AnnCecilie ?

AnneCecilie Mine has no problems with that. Maybe you was unlucky with your copy? 2w
Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie We did buy it secondhand, but it didn‘t look like it had ever been read. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

This has become our morning routine. This morning (Steve Reich) was the first time I didn‘t want to listen to multiple recordings of the say‘s selection. Oh well, tomorrow is Shubert. @AnnCecilie

Ruthiella I love his “Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards”, but it is the only thing I know. Very repetitive but for me, soothing. 1mo
quietlycuriouskate I'm reading/listening, too! Have to say I'm of a mind with you re today's piece. 1mo
AnneCecilie I didn‘t like this one either. I can‘t explain with, but something with the rhythm and the mood. 1mo
Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie To my ear it didn‘t go anywhere. But for the most part I have loved her selections. (edited) 1mo
Lcsmcat @Ruthiella I‘ll have to check that one out. 1mo

I have to thank @Librarybelle for putting this on my radar. When Jess posted about this series I thought this is exactly what I want for 2025. I ran out on New Year‘s Eve and bought this one and am so glad I did. I look so forward daily to each piece. Highly recommend. Thanks, Jess!!

Librarybelle You are welcome! It is a wonderful book and journey through classical music. So glad you are enjoying it! 1mo

janeycanuck @Librarybelle Today‘s piece was beautiful! I think I saw there‘s a second one, I‘m going to have to remember to get it later this year. 2mo
Librarybelle Yes! I read/listened to the second one last year. It was just as wonderful! 2mo

Although very interesting, the technicality & high density is beyond my ability to retain/remember.

I‘ll just enjoy the music & compositions from the greats without trying to tear them apart🎧🎻🎹😏

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 11mo
CoverToCoverGirl Off the list! 👏👏 11mo

Thank you @Librarybelle for putting this book on my radar!! I am so glad I bought it. I've played piano since I was 5, and violin since I was 7. I've always loved classical music, and I'm really looking forward to reading this book throughout the year! I'm curious to see if my favorites are included, and if so, which ones. 🎶

Librarybelle Hooray!!! Isn‘t it amazing??? I‘m enjoying her second book as well. Hooray for a year of classical music! 14mo
CoffeeNBooks @Librarybelle It is fabulous!! 14mo
Mollyanna I did the same thing. I went out and bought it after reading the review by @Librarybelle. I‘ve played piano and flute since elementary school. Looking forward to immersing myself in the classical music. 14mo

CoffeeNBooks @Librarybelle @Mollyanna I'm absolutely enjoying it so far, and now I'm keeping track of all the music in my reading journal. 😁 14mo
Kristin_Reads I loved that book! There‘s a Spotify playlist to accompany it, too. 14mo
CoffeeNBooks @Kristin_Reads Cool! Thanks for letting me know- I just found it! 14mo
LeeRHarry I put it down a couple of years ago at the end of April and plan to pick it back up then this year. 😊 14mo
jlhammar Hope you enjoy! My husband and I loved our daily reading/listening when we did this in 2020. I‘m so happy we‘re making our way through the second book this year. It‘s wonderful so far. 14mo
PathfinderNicole Oooh! My son is a cellist (entering his fourth year now!) so I bet he‘d love this! He‘s 12 so maybe as a family thing 14mo
CoffeeNBooks @PathfinderNicole It has so many fabulous pieces of classical music listed! 14mo

To say I loved my yearlong journey into classical music through this book is an understatement. Every night, I read the entry for the day and followed it up with the selected piece on Spotify. I‘m a violinist (though a very out of practice violinist), and classical music was such a constant for me growing up. I learned about composers I‘ve never heard of, listened to some favorite pieces, and just enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this.

Librarybelle I listened to today‘s entry this morning to check this one off my 2023 list. I was very excited to see Burton-Hill has another year‘s worth of classical music, and I have that ready to go for 2024 (it was not available in the US when I looked for it earlier this year, so I ordered it through Blackwell‘s)! 14mo
CoffeeNBooks Oh wow! I'm going to check this out! I've played classical music (piano & violin) my entire life. I love listening to classical music, so I would probably love this book! 14mo
Librarybelle @CoffeeNBooks I loved the mixture of music she selected - even going into opera and ragtime and jazz. It was amazing! 14mo

Deblovestoread This is part of my 2024 plan. My daughter has been learning violin over the last few years and we ignited my love of classical music. 14mo
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I hope you enjoy! 14mo
jlhammar Yay! I loved this too. And I‘ll be starting Another Year of Wonder tomorrow - can‘t wait! 🎶 14mo
Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @jlhammar ! 14mo
janeycanuck Oh, I‘m going to have to look into this! 14mo

The first #BookReport of the year and it‘s really early. But there‘s a reason for that, I‘ve read all the library books and even returned some already.

That means that All the Colors of Life, Simple Passion, Abid Raja‘s memoir and The Other Side of the Bridge are all read.

I‘m still reading The Christmas Chronicles according to its dates.

I‘ve started reading and listening to a Year of Wonder. Since this is a yearly challenge, it won‘t show

AnneCecilie up every week, but enough times to keep myself accountable. Last year I listened for 6 weeks once the book arrived and I want to listen every day. Now on to start some new books. 2y
Cathythoughts That‘s a great first Bookreport 👍🏻♥️ 2y
Cinfhen Amazing week!! 2y
