Here are the rules of this project:

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.

I'll remove Bach's Goldberg Variations, as they don't have a place in this project's aims - they did so well in the original project, coming in 36th out of nearly 400 works so far, that we don't need an alternative project to recommend them. Instead, how about Janácek's Tagebuch eines Verschollenen, something like "Diary of One Who Disappeared." Janácek's music in general is neglected a bit, and no work less deserving of its obscurity than this one. Really a moving work. And it certainly won't get within 400 on the original project, and we'd be doing well to get it within 500.
