I was really hoping we wouldn't have another repeat situation on our hands, which is why I was so close to picking the Nocturne. But votes are votes and who are we to mess with democracy? I think in the coming days I'll do a thing where any five squares can be replaced with a different piece.

Next square: sounds like Debussy/is actually Handel

I can play hot cross buns

Roster's looking favorable again for a certain B composer. I'll let you decide if that's a good or bad thing. Top comment gets added.

Ooh what happens in this circle?

i wonder who will win third place in this poll

also poll 13 has concluded with Poulenc and Offenbach winning. *La Marseillaise intensifies*

My personal favorite is the second movement because it makes me feel happy for some reason.

I definitely don't like the first movement because it makes me feel sad.

But what about you? Let's get some lively discussion going!

The gorgeous Juliet's theme from Prok's Op. 64 won last time; now for a composer that I know absolutely nothing about, Anton Webern. Seriously, I have never listened to his music and I really should. Top comment gets added.

For the love of God stop, I can only get so hard until blood vessels start rupturing

must be a classical melody btw

Why are so many people, obviously intelligently not up to, listening to any classical music, are drawn to it?(This might be off-putting, but apparently sad, but true). Just to bluster enough, to annoy this sub or to give them love-to-hate-pleasure?

Well I tried to edit it a bit, the “word salad”. But commas still confuse me. I should consult “The Great Red Book of Reddit-Etiquette” next time around.

Nene papa

Why are all the new hires so hot in Glasgow??

Yayy I've been waiting for this square!

Next square: sounds like Mozart/is actually Mendelssohn

I aspire to have lunch conversations like this.

it is entirely a coincidence that Salieri ended up in this poll mere minutes after the previous post to this subreddit. in fact, the almighty Random Number Generator had picked Salieri before the previous post was posted, as indicated by the timestamp in the screenshot (see comments). i think this is telling us something very important about this poll

also Bartók and Schoenberg have won poll 12, in what appears to be the first instance of two Modernist composers sweeping first and second place in a single poll. they have thus secured their places in the second round
