Much appreciated!

It was interesting to have a few pieces in my collection selected for me and to compare them against each other, will continue with the next round .

Five or six participants is pretty good really. How many contribute on TC?

It depends. This is a really, really deep tier so I wouldn't expect many. On the higher tiers with the more popular works it gets up to ten or twelve sometimes.

Thank you for highlighting works that are not obvious choices. I still find the reason for this kind of post somewhat perplexing, as it seems to me to hold little rigour, but any desire to promote good music is positive,  I guess.

If not for this thread, I doubt I would have heard of many of these pieces.

That's where I find the value.

I'm always on the prowl for music that I've not heard.

I think having a smaller number of contributors, but with keen and varied interests, may produce a more useful resource for exploration than something like the Classic FM polls.

A late arrival here. Since the OP is gone, does anyone know or could hazard a guess as to how this seemingly random list was determined to contain only works of the 136th tier, whatever that is?

No need to guess, it was already explained by the OP here: https://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,34112.0.html

Basically: anyone can nominate works, and new works will start at the lowest tier before climbing.
