I burned out on much of the standard repertoire at a time when that was mostly what I knew, and it took years for many pieces to become anything like fresh for me again, and some perhaps never have. Consequently I really do ration my exposure to favorite new discoveries, so that this will not happen to them. One reason for my avid, not to say obsessive, collecting of recordings of works new to me is that there is always something fresh to listen to. Jim
