Would not a +3 send Stravinsky to List Heaven?

Indeed, then I can spam my Liszt votes again

I think the Stravinsky should have been promoted, but it wasn't done, so now it's still getting votes. Can the moderator decide please?

I went back and did not see any post where the Capriccio got the necessary 7 point difference; its best moment was getting ahead by 4 points before losing precedence again. If there's been a miscalculation by someone, please direct me to the relevant post so that I may act accordingly.

[Brahmsian]

02   Messiaen: Turangalîla-Symphonie

Huh!?  Are there any Typewriter keyboard concertos or Ergonomic Computer Keyboard concertos that we are also missing from the list? 

[Luke]

Are you referring to the fact that the Turangalila has a prominent solo Ondes Martenot part? And assuming that this is the keyboard instrument that gains it entry to this poll? Not at all - as the OP has confirmed, it has a perfect right to be here, its main solo protagonist being a concertante piano part, full of cadenzas and all that concerto-esque stuff   

[Amfortas]

32   Stravinsky: Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (to The List)

32   Stravinsky: Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (to The List)

I dont think so. Mozart was 32 with Cato  and then 27 with Amfortas. Stravinsky is not on the list (yet).

[Amfortas]

I dont think so. Mozart was 32 with Cato  and then 27 with Amfortas. Stravinsky is not on the list (yet).

But how about the posts yesterday indicating the Stravinsky had made the list then? Something is fishy here, methinks

Which post? Was it the other Stravinsky piece? I can't keep track of anything - with all the different lists!

[Wanderer]

Oh, Amfortas, it looks like you did not have Mozart at the right amount when I voted.

I wil re-tally.

For the love of Bach, people! Should I be re-counting every single vote? Stravinsky's off The List. For now.

For the love of Stravinsky, actually  .
Sorry to stir things up, this 'game' has rules I did not become fully aware of due to my own haste in wanting to participate.
