Sonata Smackdown

Time to see what's the favorite sonata. If you want to play, here's the procedure:

Here is the list of the 26 sonatas that got more than one vote in the poll I started last week. Each sonata is (arbitrarily) awarded five points. 26 * 5 gives a total of 130 possible points.

When you select a sonata over another, give it one more point, while subtracting a point from one you don't like. This way, the total available point count remains at 130. Continue the process, cutting and pasting the list so that the next person can follow it. When a sonata has zero points, it falls off the list - eliminated from further consideration.

For example, lets say I preferred the Schubert D960 over the Scriabin #5, the list would then look like this:

Schubert D960 - 6
Scriabin #5 - 4

If another person likes the Schubert more than the Scriabin, the next list would look like this:

Schubert D960 - 7
Scriabin #5 - 3

So, here's the list:

Barber 5 points
Beethoven Op 106 5 points
Beethoven Op 109 5 points
Beethoven Op 110 5 points
Beethoven Op 111 5 points
Beethoven Op 27 #2 5 points
Beethoven Op 7 5 points
Beethoven Op 81a 5 points
Beethoven Op. 57 5 points
Beethoven Op 31 #3 5 points
Berg 5 points
Boulez #2 5 points
Brahms #3 5 points
Chopin Op 58 5 points
Haydn Hob XVI 52 5 points
Liszt 5 points
Mozart K 310 5 points
Mozart K 333 5 points
Prokofiev #2 5 points
Prokofiev #7 5 points
Prokofiev #8 5 points
Schubert D 958 5 points
Schubert D 959 5 points
Schubert D 960 5 points
Scriabin #2 5 points
Scriabin #5 5 points

I'll start, if you don't mind (or even if you do :lol2: ). Here's my revised list.

Barber 5 points
Beethoven Op 106 5 points
Beethoven Op 109 5 points
Beethoven Op 110 5 points

Actually, I don't see why not? If you take points off of two sonatas and add to the one you like...

On the other hand, I can see someone adding 5 to one and killing another which wouldn't be fair.

How about 1 vote per post, or two votes are allowed if they don't involve the same piece?

Does that sound fair?
