Bruce Alan Wilson, on whether one can hear a Beethoven or Brahms symphony
too many times:

>YMMV, of course, but whenever I hear a symphony by Brahms or Beethoven (or
>Mozart or Schubert, for that matter), I notice some new source of beauty
>or cause of delight which I did not notice the last time.  I hope I never
>become the sort of jaded listener who when he hears the opening
>theme says, "Ho-hum!  Been there, done that, got the T-shirt."

If one considers current programming practice, you may indeed get the
opportunity.
