You already picked Bruckner.  Once you select a particular composer, you can't pick him/her again - it's one and done.

Okay!  So...

Scriabin!

3.  If and when that composer is selected by two fellow game participants, he/she will be game ready.

There are quite a few composers who qualify yet do not appear as game ready. What am I missing?

It's not a matter of "at least" 3 votes; 3 is the top number and gets the composer into the subsequent game.

Thanks. Looks like I have to wait for one more hour before sending other two guys upstairs.  :D

EDIT: What the heck, in one hour time I'll be asleep so here are my guys:

Schubert
Chopin

And I suppose Eusebius also gets to vote? :)

Hard to say.  We all know that Eusebius would rather sit around thinking than actually do anything.
