A Musical Project for August

A couple days ago (the 28th) was the anniversary of Bach's death, so I was thinking, "Who's the most important composer after Bach (chronologically)?"  I thought of Mozart and then had an idea for a project: in August I'm going to (try to) listen to all of the Mozart in my music collection (with the exception of Così fan tutte because it's so long; I'm still doing 50/90, after all).  Over the last year or so, I've been making a catalogue of reputable YouTube videos of performances of Mozart's works, so I'm adding those to the list.  Here's what I'll be listening to (a list without much uniformity):
  1. Symphony in F major, K. 75 (online)
  2. Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K 183
  3. Symphony No. 26 in E flat major, K 184
  4. Concerto for Bassoon in B major, KV 191
  5. Symphony No. 27 in G major, K 199
  6. Symphony No. 28 in C major, K. 200 (online)
  7. Symphony No. 29 in A major K 201
  8. Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major, K 218
  9. Piano Concerto No. 9 in E flat major, KV 271 "Jeunehomme"
  10. Concerto for Oboes in D major, KV 314
  11. Symphony No. 32 in G major, K 318
  12. Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331 "Alla Turca"
  13. Oboe Quartet in F major, KV 370 (online)
  14. Symphony No. 35 in D major KV 385 "Haffner"
  15. Prelude and Fugue in C major, K.394/383a (online)
  16. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466
  17. Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K 467
  18. Fantasia in C minor, K. 475 (online)
  19. Piano Concerto No. 22 in E flat major, K.482 (online)
  20. Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, KV 488 (online)
  21. Overture "The Marriage of Figaro" KV 492
  22. Serenade No. 13 in G major, K. 525 "Eine kleine Nacht Musik"
  23. Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550
  24. Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551 "Jupiter"
  25. Trio Divertimento for Violin, Viola, and Cello in E flat major, K. 563 (online)
  26. Clarinet Quintet in A major, K.581 (online)
  27. Overture "The Magic Flute" KV 620
  28. Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622
  29. Requiem, K. 626
I have a few Mozart performance videos in my watch-later list that I haven't added to my catalogue yet, but for this project, I'm going to use only what I've collected so far.  Similarly, I have CDs of Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Le nozze di Figaro, but because 1) they're so long and 2) I haven't listened to them yet, I'm not going to include them in this project.
