Semi-quavers not allowed, so it is a tie!

If semi-quavers are outlawed, only outlaws will play semi-quavers!

The Eroica.

Yes, that is my favourite.  Currently, my favourite by far.

So you pick #4 1st with #8 2nd. Nice to get all four numbers in there.  ;)

4 and 8 are neck and neck! Personally my second choice would have been no. 2 (my first choice being 4)

Was not on purpose.  Did not notice that till you pointed that out.

As it happens, 4 and 8 are my favorites, with 4 a bit ahead.  But I must lodge a protest on behalf of 7.  3,5,6, and 9 are famous enough they can fight their own battle.

1 and 2 are also neck and neck!

Wait, maybe I should say ankle and ankle...

I thought Beethoven only wrote a third, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth symphony.

Stravinsky was a great advocate for the Fourth Symphony, as I recall.

Post by: Holden on September 12, 2016, 01:04:15 PM
Of the choices offered the Fourth is my pick. But if you add the rest of the oeuvre it comes in sixth place after 6, 3, 7, 9 and 5.
