May I point out the cardinal flaw of this survey? Everybody gives points to their favourite symphony and takes away from its closest "rival". I predict that in the end the most points will remain with the underdogs: those that are still at 10... And may I point out that a nonexistent symphony has more points  than Beethoven's 9th... ??? ??? ::)

That would be a good way to sabotage these threads: have several people quoting old posts. Hmm. ;)

I'm shocked that you would even consider such atrocities edward! ;D

Anyway, I'll take it from Lethe since Lilas and val didn't seem to do it properly.

The Mozart 37 was a typo on my part. Now that it's gone I'm considering it a non-issue.
