Prokofiev vs. Shostakovich

[Daverz]

Precioussss Doesn't Want to Answer This Poll.  Nassssty Hobbitssses!  Gollum, Gollum!

[Harry]

I was nearly forgetting that I sent Harry my reggae-death-metal remix of "Land of Soap & Borax" 

Rather liked this posting....

Dislike Prokofiev, love Shosty. Easy choice.

Of course, the REAL answer is Shostakofiev.

Not your idea hm?

Franz Waxman's Auld Long Syne Variations for piano quartet:

1) Eine Kleine Nichtmusik
2) L v B
3) Chaconne a Son Gout
4) Homage to Shostakofiev

[Danny]

Shosty is pulling away...............I still can't decide.

[locrian]

Neither are in my top drawer, but I have warmer feelings toward Shosty.

[karlhenning]

Maybe you need a larger top drawer? j/k

[locrian]

Maybe you need a larger top drawer? j/k

It's plenty big. Shosty's in the next drawer down, and I seemed to have lost Prokofiev. Maybe he's behind my socks.

[Wanderer]

Prokofiev versus Shostakovich? That's unfair to them both. And Elgar. 

[Wanderer]

1) Eine Kleine Nichtmusik
2) L v B
3) Chaconne a Son Gout

Karl, would you start composing already? 

[karlhenning]

Maybe he's behind my socks.

Oh, the indignity!

[EmpNapoleon]

Shostakovich

Glad I could clear things up.

We need to love and cherish the memory of both--amen!  Not a rumble, definitely not a rumble!!!

[Danny]

Oh, the indignity!

Yes, but there might be worser places yet to put them.

[Josquin des Prez]

Dislike Prokofiev, love Shosty. Easy choice.

Ditto.

[greg]

oh, no.... Prokofiev is really losing 

but he won against Stravinsky. This is really the opposite of the order of composers' importance/status. Normally it'd be like

1) Stravinsky
2) Prokofiev
3) Shostakovich

but it's seems in order of being liked it's like this:

1) Shostakovich
2) Prokofiev
3) Stravinsky


i like all 3 of course.....

[Josquin des Prez]

but he won against Stravinsky.

No bloody way. 

[Brian]

but he won against Stravinsky.

I demand a recount. It had to have been the dimpled chads.

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Not a rumble, definitely not a rumble!!!

Prokofiev could out duel Shostakovich with one arm tied behind the piano bench...

But as to the poll, both, of course!

[not edward]

Prokofiev would have beaten Shostakovich easily at the chess board.

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Prokofiev would have beaten Shostakovich easily at the chess board.

That's two for Prokofiev!
