#of course you can't just copy paste a spreadsheet onto tumblr so i will. not copy paste 1080 works individually on here just yet

my one actual personal non-work-related new year's resolution is listening to all of bach's core works, everything from bwv 1 to bwv 1080 (for now, I'll listen to later additions 1088-1128 and all the other addendums once I've made it that far). which feels manageable!! I should have listened to more of bach by now anyway! I'm using the imslp list of all of bach's works, and am currently using this youtube playlist of a complete recording of all of bach's works that is hopefully actually complete. and clocks in at a mere 177 hours and 36 minutes. I'll also make use of the bachipedia site and occasionally watch those performances, and the bach cantata website for background knowledge (that site is fantastic btw)

I realise this is of interest to quite literally nobody apart from myself BUT sometimes posting something is good to like. have accountability. and this is currently the social media website I use the most SO I'll be tracking my progress here. I was initially going to do this all in one post and just reblog it each time to make note of which one(s) I'd listened to, plus add a few notes under the cut... then I used my brain and thought for a moment about how much I would be reblogging a single post and how long it would get. so let's not do that! instead I'm treating this as a masterpost where I will go back and cross off every piece I've listened to, and link to specific progress posts where I make some notes on the pieces I've listened to
