The Symphony Elmination Game

[gmstudio]

What the hell, same rules as the end of the composer elimination...

- Vote ONCE per day
- Add one point to one choice and subtract one point from two choices
- There are 20 to start. That seemed reasonable and manageable. There could have easily have been 30. Or 50.
- The symphonies were somewhat arbitrarily selected. Your favorite isn't here? Tough.  No on else stood up to start a thread yet, so I picked 'em. 
- The Haydn symphonies were picked randomly from three of his major "groups" - A S&D one, a Paris, and a London.  Think of your vote for those for the whole period.

Can I point out that there is no Symphony #37 by Mozart?  It was actually written by someone else (although Mozart did write the introduction).

Should be 7

After Symphonien, should be 6 now.
(Apparently neither of you did count my minus vote)

[Symphonien]

Edited now.

Greg didn't count it so I just pasted from the next person after him who didn't count it either.

By the way, I just noticed that no-one after Hornteacher seemed to count his plus for Dvorak's 9th so I've changed that too.

I don't know many symphonies, so I'll try not to deduct points from those.  (for as long as I can )

Ah... you may want to try again -

Add one point to one choice and subtract one point from two choices
