A Game of Nations and Regions (Edition Austria/Germany)

33735 Views 2502 Replies 21 Participants Last post by  starcat
Edition Austria/Germany is the sixth entry in this series. First, we will select and vote on composers. Second, we will select and vote on compositions. For each of the two categories, the top ten will then be available for additional national/regional games.

Composer Selection Rules:

1. You may vote once daily.

2. When you vote, you will have up to 5 composers to select.

3. Voting will end when participation significantly recedes and/or the entries are becoming quite obscure.

My 5 selections for today:

Bach, J.S.
Froberger
Schubert
Schumann, R.
Zemlinsky

Note: Being born in Austria or Germany is not a guarantee of selection approval. Conversely, being born in a country other than Austria or Germany does not guarantee a rejection of the selection. In cases where there is some dispute, I will render a final decision.

Looking forward to your selections!

Schubert's "Unfinished" missed out by just 1 point. Oh well, goodbye to the 8th symphony.

The last semi-final round will be up next.

Welcome to Round Five of the Semi-Finals. There are 5 rounds, each one having 21 works. For each round, the 5 works with the highest scores will advance to the Finals.

Rules of the Road:

1. You may vote once daily.

2. When you vote, you will have 10 points to distribute as you wish except that no work may receive more than 6 points.

3. The Half-Time Adjustment is in effect. With the first work to reach 50 points, the 8 having the lowest scores will be eliminated from the game; this number could rise if there are ties toward the bottom of the board.

4. Round Five ends with the first work to reach 100 points.
