Round 3 has been decided (Vivaldi...) Round 2 is still tied... so ill let the vote continue (chopin had majority more recently, so he will win if the round ends with no tie breaker).
NE ways this round is Tchaikovsky (1840-93); Ru.
vs. Schumann (1810-56); Ger. Tchaikovsky is my personal favorite... (the entireNutcraker/swanlake/hungarian Dance were all done by him). schumann's works have alot of romance to them.
besides the regular Excite audio search... also consider this site www.peabody.jhu.edu/index.php?pageID=743
[notice: while the odds against Schumann and Mendelssohn (and whoever BACH is against) may make them look like bad composers, these are still easily in the top 15... so dont think that they are bad by any means... if there was more interest, I would have made a 32 large battle, that way Handel/schumann/mendelssohn/chopin all would all accually be honored for their skill in round 1... but alas, there is little interest as it is, and this is my first attempt at this... so 16 was the number thta was better to use.]
