Composer elimination game

[karlhenning]

Let's play a bit silly game

It's a game, folks.  All these composers are already established, and none of them suffer.  These "minuses" aren't a big deal.

For the record, though, I don't play Operation by Hasbro, because I refuse to use magnetism as an invasive procedure.

Thank you, Karl.

Dvorak 5 - (4) 

Why the Dvorak ding Orbital...just curious. 

[karlhenning]

O perdurable shame!

[springrite]

Karl, it's up to the two of us (plus my unborn child) to keep Schoenberg afloat, it seems, and it's a losing battle.

[Mark G. Simon]

Both springrite and I gave a plus to Stravinsky at the same time, both thinking we had boosted his score to 6.

In fact, the two pluses now give Stravinsky a score of 7

Stravinsky and Haydn neck-&-neck! The way it ought to be!

Another eerie coincidence!

[springrite]

Another eerie coincidence!

Yeah, but he has no problem with excorcism!

He is one composer I never could get into for some reason, as much as I accept his greatness in the canon. The works I have of him, 8th and 9th symphonies, the cello concerto, the piano concerto, the piano quintets they all have that sense of predictability to them. Brahms generally has that too, but his sound pallette and melodies make up for it IMO.
Having said that I realize I have not heard his SQs or the earlier symphonies

(Very) Fair enough.

Right you are David....I had a Florida moment.

Doesn't anyone else cringe at the thought of national policy being determined by a Party that claims its contituents are too dumb to poke a hole in a sheet of paper?
