Getting today's done before I forget the "plan"...

Rachmaninov - Etudes-Tableaux, op.39
Faure - Nocturne No.6, op.63


Neither of these composers were on the list at all last night when I decided on these. The Rach has recently made it, but.... no Faure? You're all Philistines. Philistines!
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.

Not only have I not heard it, I've not heard of it.

It's okay, you can cross me off your Christmas card list.

I think there is a problem in this game, piano music (e.g. by Ravel) being mixed with harpsichord music (Sweelinck's Chromatic fantasy and a lot of Bach). Maybe it would be better to distinguish between these two kinds of keyboard music and do two different polls. Just my two cents.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

You offered the same two cents on another game I ran a few months ago.  As I remember it, I didn't take you up on your suggestion then, and nothing has changed.  Of course, any GMG member is free to start a harpsichord game; you might well be the best person to do it.  If you do, I'll vote every day.

The issue I have with games devoted to baroque and pre-baroque composers/works is one of participation.  A game devoted to the works of Faure gets greater participation than one devoted to Bach, and the list just goes on.  It's a fact of life I don't like but can't ignore.  So I tread lightly, sometimes starting a game that will probably have low participation but I just can't stop myself.
