Semi-quavers not allowed, so it is a tie!

1-9  all of them! :)
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

So you pick #4 1st with #8 2nd. Nice to get all four numbers in there.  ;)

4 and 8 are neck and neck! Personally my second choice would have been no. 2 (my first choice being 4)
