Six Shostakovich nominations already and none of them is the Tenth?

This could be bigger than Sibelius' 8th!!

Not really.

You could change that situation.   

[Draško]

Scriabin - Symphony No. 3 in C minor Op. 43 "Le Divin Poème"
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 1 in G minor op.13 "Winter Dreams"

... subsequently, our game will commence.

and what is the actual game?

[Sammy]

When the game begins, each participant has 10 points to distribute on a daily basis (5 max. per work).  The game ends with the first work to reach 100 points.  There are a few additional details which will be covered when the selection process is over.  I've run dozens of games on another website, and it works out fine (game lasts about 5-6 days if there's decent participation).

My two cents worth:

Scriabin Symphony No. 3 "Le divin poème"
Prokofiev Symphony No. 5

[Maestro267]

This could be interesting as long as it isn't dominated by the usual suspects.

There's plenty on the board already, so I'm going to use my votes today to "second" two symphonies already suggested:

Schnittke: Symphony No. 1
Scriabin: Symphony No. 3

Btw, how are we dealing with the Soviet era? Are we allowed to include the likes of Lyatoshynsky and Khachaturian, which were technically part of the same country as Russia (namely the USSR) when they were active? If Weinberg is included, and he was Polish, then we can include the other Soviet countries.
