My new classical-album-soundtrack routine

I've decided to try a new morning ritual. Right when I get up, I'll listen to three and study three things (using a score if available):
  1. a long-form classical composition (symphony, symphonic suite, concerto, opera, ballet), usually for full orchestra, but it could be a chamber (e.g. string quartet) or solo work (e.g. piano sonata)
  2. an entire non-classical album, usually jazz, progressive rock/metal or world music
  3. a soundtrack of a film, TV show or video game
I'll try to hear something I've never heard before, but sometimes I'll need to revisit something. Hopefully this'll help me break this writer's block.
