Now that it has passed a month... Revive, mighty Eroica!

+ Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 "Eroica"

One of the pinnacles of the symphony and all-time symphonic achievement. Revolutionary for its time and awe-inspiring with its power and majesty.


- Takemitsu: Flow From Me What You Call Time

I'm not a big fan of Takemitsu. His music never really seemed to grasp me.

I'm still in it, but I'm going to wait until another piece or two put there by me is removed from the list.

A reminder that I'll be updating the list of removed pieces on New Year's Eve. Since Beethoven's Eroica is now back on the list, I think I'll try to feature it in some way. Any ideas as to how to do it?

I want to participate, but I don't get this…

Sorry.

Sorry.

Here are the rules:

"Everyone can add one work every day, but then they have to remove a work. The same person is not allowed to add the same work twice within a month once it has been removed. Other people can add that work anytime again (within the limits of one per day). You can not remove the same work twice within a month. Most importantly, have fun! This is not a perfect list of the best works, but a list where we want to highlight some good works. Discussions are welcomed. Bashing is not"

The list changes constantly, but it always consists of twenty-five pieces. You need to do quite a bit of copying and pasting of text to make a post. The list of removed works for each month is maintained in a separate thread:

Alternative Classical Music Project--removed works

So, here goes: I'm removing Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem (which I added myself--maybe nobody else but me likes it), to make room for Liadov's The Enchanted Lake. I heard it on the radio a couple of days ago, and I really enjoyed it--see what you think:



And so the new list comprises:

Aho: Symphony No.9
Bach: Goldberg Variations

Respighi: Pines of Rome

Schnittke: Cello Concerto No. 1

Schumann: Piano Concerto
Shostakovich: Violin concerto no 2

^Aw. I love Sinfonia da Requiem!

You can always add it back again--the rules allow for it. But it might be better to suggest a piece that you really like, and one you want to remove, and if you're not sure how to go about it, I'll do it for you. (Avant-garde pieces are quite welcome, but there's no guarantee how long they, or anything else, will survive on the list!)

I'll try. Tell me if I did anything wrong

I added Clara Scumann's piano concerto and removed her husband's.
