Article about listening to all works in the Mozart catalogue

February 17, 2013 4:34 AM

I'm trying to find an article I once read about someone's experiences of listening to all of Mozart's works in chronological order, downloaded onto his iPod, over the course of a week, or something to that effect. Can you help me find it?

Was it Alex Ross?

"But the obvious challenge was to go through the whole megillah—to begin with the Andante in C Major (K. 1a), which Mozart wrote when he was five, and proceed to the bitter end, the Requiem (K. 626), which he left unfinished at his death, at thirty-five. It took me three months."

I guess that could be it, although I thought it was someone else. But thanks.
