[symphonybracket]

The symphony bracket is here!

This is how voting will proceed:

Beginning on September 1, one poll (2 symphonies) will be posted per day. The poll duration will be 7 days.

The reason for the slow posting will be to give voters time to listen, in case one or both symphonies is new to them!

There are 64 symphonies in the bracket, meaning 32 polls.

Happy voting!

18 and 19!

18. Symphony that you have most enjoyed hearing live?

so the symphonies i have heard live so far that i recall are 1) sibelius 2 2) dvorak 8 3) shostakovich 10 4) shostakovich 5 5) mahler 7, 6) beethoven 7 and 8) dvorak 7 (if you don't count the ones that i have performed in). dvorak 8 and shostakovich 10 were both performed by a youth orchestra one of my band friends played in so they don't really count because it was high schoolers. sibelius 2, shostakovich 5, dvorak 7, and mahler 7 were all the national symphony orchestra and beethoven 7 was the new york philharmonic (marching band trip to nyc) (i kind of fell asleep in the third movement bc it was a long day)

that being said i think it would be a tough choice between sibelius 2, shostakovich 5, and mahler 7. the sibelius was paired with the shostakovich pc1 which also has a solo trumpet part which i really liked esp since the nso's principal trumpet player is like best buds with my trumpet teacher. also the performance of the symphony was exquisite.

the shostakovich 5 was another completely stunning performance by the nso. however. i went with my dad. and. during the. 3rd movement. the quiet one. his cell phone. fell out of his pocket. onto the wooden floor. very loudly. while the strings were muted. and the rest of the orchestra was silent. so that was embarrassing. but the orchestra was phenomenal.

however i think i will have to go with the mahler 7. yes, the conductor made some weird choices in regards to tempi (they like, rushed through the 3rd, 4th, and beginning of the 5th movements). but the instrumentalists played the music perfectly (except the principal trombone in the 1st movement; he was playing the tenorhorn part on a euphonium and splatted some notes here and there, which was distracting but did not detract from the musical experience as a whole. he also did remarkably well when he was playing trombone instead of euph), especially the principal horn and principal trumpet.

sorry that's a lot of words. tldr mahler 7 w/ national symphony orchestra (in the us)

19. Which symphony would you most like to play in the future? Which part would you play?

i was thinking about this the other day and i think pretty much any of mahler 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, shostakovich 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, sibelius 2, 4, 5, 7 maslanka 4, 8, 9, 10 strauss' alpensinfonie (if that counts as a symphony) bruckner 7, 8, 9 however if i had to choose Just One i thiinnnk i would have to go with shostakovich 8 because of the trumpet solo in the toccata (3rd movement). also the rest of the symphony has some great trumpet parts too. also mahler 3 would hurt my face like hell but it sure would be fun!

Is there a possibility of spreading the wind orchestra ones out further in the suites bracket? currently Maslanka 4 and 7, as well as Hovhaness 4 are all stuck in that bottom right corner, meaning wind orchestra has very little chance of getting anywhere (especially considering they're going up against tchaik 5 a few rounds in)

Hi! :) I didn't know those were wind symphonies, so I assure you I didn't do that on purpose! (It was all randomized.)

If that's what you all would like for the suites bracket that sounds good to me!
