YESSSS VIOLIN CONCERTO BRACKET START FISTFIGHTS !!! also more generally a concerto bracket would be so fun. rach piano 2 vs shostakovich cello 1. fight -lexi

the thing is if you tried to do a concerto bracket for all instruments the violins would sweep anyway no matter what LOL. so much of it is a numbers game in this case. like i remember the music festival i played one summer with a concerto competition with separate sections for "violins" "young violins" "lower strings" "literally everybody else"...maybe someone could run a bracket like that, do separate prelim brackets for violins, pianos, lower strings, and wind/brass, and then put the winners from those individual brackets together in a final? no matter what i think it would be Hilarious to see the violin players of tumblr ripping each other to shreds over like. brahms vs tchaikovsky or whatever

#sasha answers #recapitulation #for the record i have neither the time nor the brain power to organize and run this sort of thing #but my blessing goes out to anyone who wishes to run one based on my idea lol #beethoven emperor vs gershwin would ruin me in a piano concerto battle LOL #i wonder how double or triple concertos would be handled in this case....should they get their own category maybe? #mozart flute and harp is a great concerto but i'm also a huge fan of the fiala english horn and clarinet because. well of course #also concertinos.........much to think about!! #my beloved kalliwoda concertino in f wouldn't stand a chance going up against a well known vln or pno number #but gd damn if it isn't a top five for me no matter what
