If you join in, you can 'fast track' either of those works, so that it is immediately admitted into the GMG 'canon'... I even saw Sara do this with Tchaikovsky's Sixth, without playing the game (every GMG member is allowed to fast track one work...)

Which reminds me--no fast tracking will be allowed after The List reaches 90--in other words, after four more symphonies are elevated.  Rather like the Keyboard Concertos thread.

Unlike the Keyboard Concertos thread, I'm going to stop as soon as we reach 100--whatever limit we have it would be arbitrary. If one of you wants to pick up from that point and take The List further,  I have no objection, but I won't be doing so myself.

I think 100 is a nice round number. Otherwise we'll be tempted to get in every symphony we like. Now we have to be choosy. I see this as GMG's symphonic Desert Island list.
