I agree with you John. Careful listening to art music is a work, although a very pleasant one. I listen to my classical music very attentively (no bear, wine or cigars, please) and at appropriate time; usually every other weekday for no longer that 30 min (a single piece of music, sonatas for example) and about for one hour on weekends (symphonies, operas and the likes). I need time to digest what I have heard and then I need time to be fresh for the next piece of music. And also I like to know (read) more about the music I am going to listen to and that particular record (performance). All that takes time in between listenings.
That is right, careful listening wear you out even at live concerts, but also it is true that the type of record you are listening to at home can add to it dramatically : LP
