Thank you for highlighting that piece btw, I have listened to it before but not closely enough apparently. It is great. Also got ahold of the Farrenc 3rd because of your advocacy and its excellent - can certainly hold its own in this company. So thanks for that as well.

Schumann's Piano Quintet, easily my favorite thing of his in sonata form (or whatever you call it).

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I voted for that Alkan, but mostly for being the Piece By A Composer I Only Vaguely Knew Beforehand That I Found Myself Coming Back To Most Frequently.
The music in these threads has utterly dominated my listening over the last month or so. I seem to be noting recommended recordings then falling silent in each thread, but I am *really* digging this exercise. (Perhaps this era especially as I'm so 20th-century-centric.) Thanks pomenitul!

17 pieces got a vote! V interesting.

My pleasure, Nag!
I'm glad Les quatre âges got a couple of votes, it's an incredible piece and it really stands out within its era. And the lack of consensus is a sight to behold.

Yeah, thanks pom. This was a great idea, and the execution has been great too. Just great work!

It'll no doubt be a more fragmentary exercice post-1960s but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
