To me, it's the other way round. Three Greatest Works is easy:
1. Wagner: The Ring of the Nibelungs
2. Bach: B minor mass
3. Beethoven: Symphony No 9
It's listing my favourite works that's difficult. If I list
1. Schubert: String Quintet in C
2. Sibelius: Symphony No 3
3. Sibelius: Symphony No 6
then that means leaving out, inter alia, Beethoven's Razumovsky Quartets,
Beethoven's 7th Symphony, Schubert's last three quartets, Brahms's 4th
Symphony, Barber's 1st, Walton's 1st, Vaughan-Williams 5th, Elgar's Violin
Concerto, and the other five Sibelius symphonies.
What I find odd is that the two lists don't overlap.
Best wishes,
Peter Varley
