Yikes. Forced myself to vote, even if the nom list is so formidable -- which is obv actually AWESOME in a cornucopia sense -- that my knowledge and ballot feel somewhat inadequate. :-)

oh man Kurt Atterberg was not nommed. There goes three symphonies I would have listed

Huh, I didn't know of that composer at all. It's good to see more votes coming in. Last day to vote, everyone!

Also not nominated but good to check out after the rollout: Simeon ten Holt's Canto Ostinato for four pianos:

Yeah, I really liked that one. Long but really enjoyable.

Would anyone be up for helping out with a Spotify playlist for the final list? I think it would be widely appreciated.

I could, if I happen to be around at the same time that the rollout is happening. The 15 year poll all rolled out while I was out of the house.

I can definitely do it. I just got overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the nominations list. Countdown list will be super easy by comparison.

Frankly I trust Jon not Jon to pick the best recordings over my own random selections. :)
― Tom Violence, Friday, 23 September 2016 21:59 (seven years ago) link
Awesome. Thanks, Jon!

Zero consensus on the #1 notated piece since 1890.
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Saturday, 24 September 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
yeah the nominations list is impossible to build.

Did any piece get more than one #1?
― Tom Violence, Saturday, 24 September 2016 17:30 (seven years ago) link
Nope. Two composers got two #1 votes each, but for different pieces in both cases.
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Saturday, 24 September 2016 17:36 (seven years ago) link
And they share a first name!
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Saturday, 24 September 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link
Claude or Gustav?

I have the final results and we should be able to start tomorrow. I'm thinking of going through 10 pieces per day out of the top 100. To warm you up, here are Pierre Boulez's top 10 pieces of the 20th century: http://www.wnyc.org/story/10-great-works-20th-century-pierre-boulezs-90th-birthday/
― Hi! I'm twice-coloured! (Sund4r), Sunday, 25 September 2016 02:38 (seven years ago) link
so you plan doing the rollout the next 10 days?
― Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 25 September 2016 03:02 (seven years ago) link
This Boulez quote stuck out at me:
I don’t want to criticize my century, but the process of absorbing what is composed during this century is a very slow process, much too slow for me.
― Tom Violence, Sunday, 25 September 2016 04:13 (seven years ago) link
good list from Boulez, bit safe but yes feeling it
― door unlawful carnal knowledge (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 25 September 2016 09:43 (seven years ago) link
The rollout has started (and it's awesome!)
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 26 September 2016 07:37 (seven years ago) link
And I just listened to Ginastera's second cello concerto for the first time: wow!
