... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

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."

"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

GioCar's votes ended the game with Mahler's Symphony no. 7 taking first place!!

Our Collective Top Five:

1.  Mahler - Symphony no. 7
2.  Bach - Sonata for solo violin No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005
2.  Beethoven - Große Fuge, Op. 133
4.  Boulez - Répons
5.  Schoenberg - Piano Concerto, Op. 42

What does Crudblud think of these results?

Game Three of the series will begin later today.

Well, obviously I am fond of all the pieces on the list, so I could hardly think it a bad top five, but I was a little disappointed to see Mahler dominate so easily. I love the 7th, but I was under the impression that it was among his least popular major works, and that is partly why I picked it. There were of course works I knew no one would vote for, for example I know Nancarrow is not well known or well liked here. I think if I were to do something like this again I would choose only less well known works to make it harder for one piece to secure such an absolute victory, and I would try to avoid choosing any composers who are supremely popular—I knew as soon as I'd posted the list which selections would make the top three, one way or another.
