Title: Composer elimination game
Post by: Siedler on December 26, 2007, 10:06:51 AM
Don't know should this be here or on diner but anyway. Let's play a bit silly game, perhaps already familiar from other message boards.
Basically you give one plus (+) point and one minus (-) point to a composer of your choice. One vote per day. Every composer starts with +5 points and after 0 points composer will be eliminated. I've chosen 20 composers for the first round. Many important and favourite composers are missing, perhaps they'll be on the next rounds... :)

ROUND 1

JS Bach 5
Beethoven 5
Berg 5
Brahms 5
Bruckner 5
Chopin 5
Dvorak 5
Elgar 5
Haydn 5
Händel 5
Mahler 5
Monteverdi 5
Mozart 5
Schubert 5
Schönberg 5
Shostakovich 5
Stravinsky 5
Tchaikovsky 5
Verdi 5
Wagner 5

No it won't - because nowhere in the thread is there any mention of inferiority/superiority - you add/subtract based on what you like (which is an altogether different thing).

I'm not sure it's worth waking Annie up.  She's only vote for Handel again and there's no telling whom she'd vote against now that Dickie's gone.  Probably Bruckner.  Best let sleeping spouses lie.

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

Nothing against Beethoven; it's a question of weighting, is all.

Very Libra of you Karl.  ;)

Are others voting based on what other people vote or simply their favorite and least favorite? Just curious. I am in the latter camp.

Yes, and at some point the rules need to be changed so you can only take away points from one composer without adding points to another. Otherwise this game will never end.

(So, it will be another Beethoven (or Bach?) is greater than any other composer thread)

What happens when a composer is eliminated?
A game i saw in another forum, was everytime a composer was eliminated, the person who "kills" him has to put another composer in his place.
When a composer reaches a certain number of points(30points for instance) he goes to the hall of fame so to speak.
It's more fun that way imo.

Handel is dead!!! ;D

What happens when a composer is eliminated?
A game i saw in another forum, was everytime a composer was eliminated, the person who "kills" him has to put another composer in his place.
When a composer reaches a certain number of points(30points for instance) he goes to the hall of fame so to speak.
It's more fun that way imo.

YEAH!

Start a new thread, I am so there, dude!  :)

We can save our votes?  I thought only one vote per day, and if you do not use it, you lose it ;D...that way it reacting to others is a bigger part of the game.

Ok, let's do it in this thread.

So the rules:
1- one vote a day.
2- Once a composer reaches 30 points(less or more, lets decide) he goes to the hall of fame, and another composer enters the competition.
3. Once a composer is eliminated, goes to hell! and a new composer enters competition.
4. The last person to vote for the elimination or for the hall of fame is the one who enters the new composer.

GO!

Rather than hijacking Siedler's game already in progress, why don't we wait until the next round (or start a new thread), and let the current game play out?  Plus, it would get rather confusing to have those who eliminated composers previously entering their new composers at a later time.  Just a suggestion.  :)

I see Handel has been eliminated whereas Haydn positively flourishes. That seems a mystery to me, I would have assumed they would stay pretty much neck and neck.

There is (was?) a feature that, when you are composing a new post, will stop you when you say "post" if anything has been posted in the meantime, and let you review it first. It was ON by default on the old forum, and it is OFF by default on this version. This might be a useful time for that feature to be (individually) enabled. :)

I am not sure about this business of encouraging spouses to come along and vote here. My mother's dog probably has opinions on these composers; for that matter Gurn has a whole pack of dogs that would be yapping for votes.

Can anyone highlight for me if there is any point to this exercise? I am assuming it is harmless fun, except that certain favourites of mine have been eliminated and I have noted who to blame and I have a friend in Boston who will deal with the Wiseguys. It will be bam, boom, there....gone.....forgetabourit.

Some members will have been removed. You know what I mean.

Schubert?  Certainly.  In fact, if you divide the number of their published works by the average number of annual performances and multiply the result by the average number of parts per score, raised to the power equal to their respective numbers of musical progeny over the mean number of repeats per composition times modulations, you will find that Bach was exactly 2.3796 times better than Schubert.

As for Mozart...are you out of your effing mind?  ;) ;D

Hey, Bill, Siedler has stated earlier in this thread that he wishes only members to vote.  :) I think you may have missed his post earlier in the thread. I corrected a few of Lauren's susequent votes, but I think you missed that post as well.

So the current count needs to be adjusted:

Yes, I did miss that.  Too bad, she was having fun with this...which I thought was the point at the outset.  No worries.  She can have persuade my vote each day as her taste in music is superior to mine anyways. :)  I will do the Hall of Fame one.

  A poll without WAGNER and VERDI and worst yet Mahler and Haydn ahead of Mozart and Schubert....oh dear God.... I am beginning to have serious doubts about the musical tastes of some of the GMG members.  And where is Tchaikovsky in all this??
  Mahler ahead of Wagner  ::), wasn't it Mahler that said that "there was only Beethoven and Wagner..." I don't even think he (Mahler) would have dared put himself ahead of the Meistersinger!

If we change the rules so you can add point to ONE composer but deduct from TWO, this game will move a lot faster.

Anne, I added one to Bruckner right before your post, so your's should be 2 + 1 = 3.   We don't want poor Anton to be cheated, do we? ;D

For sure I would not want to cheat poor Anton but I thought I left him alone and added one to Schubert.  I should have totaled yours to make 2 for Anton, right?

I will wait for your reply so we don't mess up this thread.

Ah, I see what happened.  Yes, mine should be totaled as 2 for Bruckner.  I thought you were adding one to Bruckner; wishful thinking perhaps.  ;)

Bach should be at 14, not 15 (the rule is we can add 1, but subtract 2; someone with calculated deliberation added 2 to JSB).

So let it be written.

I'm the one who added 2 to Bach, but not with calculated deliberation.  I just wasn't aware that the parameters of the game had changed.  No big deal, and I don't apologize.

Well, thank you! I am getting HUGE and feeling great!

Just came in to read some posts, and when I saw someone deducting TWO POINTS from Mahler at one go, I was peeved! Mahler is my favorite and if I were to have any say in the matter, Mahler will be my child's favorite as well!

Mozart may be the better composer by whichever standard you want to take, but in the end it comes to who do I listen to more? Neither, nowadays, really  ;D but in general it is Brahms that I'd pick up from a library if it consisted solely of these two composers. But against Bach he does not stand a chance of course >:D
