in general it is Brahms that I'd pick up from a library if it consisted solely of these two composers.




Really?

I am a huge admirer of Brahms' Piano Concerto in Dm, as well as his last String Quartet und Deutsches Requiem. But Mozart...

Guess I am weird...

Weird for liking Mozart?  ;D
The period does not resonate with me that much, perhaps it will in the future.

Who would have guessed it?! Least of all Johannes Brahms himself, who revered his great predecessors...  :o

Awesome!

Not my pick from the 20 to begin with, but he was after Mahler was eliminated.

Very interesting little game this, anyway. From the beginning, I was sure it would come out Bach/Beethoven.

So the winner is: Brahms!   ;D
Should we do another round or lock this thread as there are the hall of fame and the lesser composer games out?

One game is enough for me, Siedler...

What about a game with 20 symphonies? Or 20 string quartets?

Fair play to old Brahms, but Bach is THE man, no?

Interesting idea ....... start with 20 symphonies, and eliminate all but 1 ......... The problem is arriving at the initial 20 symphonies .........
