Welcome to the series of games titled What's another year. It is based on a suggestion by @Shaughnessy. Image above is in public domain (link).

Every game will focus on compositions from one particular year, from 1919 until 2018. Yes, I'm shooting for 100 games and possibly a follow-up (an overarching game with the 3 highest classified works of each year).

The games (years) are run in randomized order. Game 24 is the year 1966. For information, the next game will be the year 1991.

Each game will have a nomination phase and a game phase (in one thread).

You can nominate one composition per day, from the year that is the game year. Eligible compositions are those listed on the Wikipedia pages or any others that are composed in the year. As soon as we have sixteen works, the game will start.

Relevant pages:
Wikipedia - The year 1966 in Classical Music (scroll past premieres)
What's another year - Fixing Wikipedia

Note that Wikipedia does sometimes contain some errors in the yearly list. In the end, if reliable sources indicate a different year for the completion, I'll go with that.

Please use this lay-out for the nominations (including first name), so I can easily cut and paste:

1. Tōru Takemitsu - The Dorian Horizon

Well, that was an exciting finish, with Ligeti dropping out of the top three on the very last moment.

Our top ten for 1966:

01 Dmitri Shostakovich - Cello Concerto no. 2
02 Dimitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Op. 122
03 Igor Stravinsky - Requiem Canticles

04 György Ligeti - Cello Concerto
05 György Ligeti - Lux aeterna
06 Mieczyslaw Weinberg - String Quartet No. 11
07 Giacinto Scelsi - Uaxuctum
08 Iannis Xenakis - Terretektorh
09 Paavo Heininen - Adagio
10 Roberto Gerhard - Epithalamion

Takemitsu misses the top 10 on the tiebreaker.

Thanks for playing. See you (probably tomorrow) in 1991.
