well good news...you can actually listen to pretty much "all" of symphonic music!

yeah there is new stuff, but when we speak of "classical music", we're really talking about long-dead people

Dvorak isn't going to be composing any new works, you can actually listen to everything Dvorak ever created and then you're "done"

There are 1,182 recordings of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" alone, each running close to three hours. If you listen for 16 hours every day, you can cover this one in under a year, on to work number two! :D

But people make new recordings all the time!

I could listen to different recordings of Canto Ostinato all day, it sounds like a completely different piece if someone else plays it.
