	Good quiz, but since you don't require the answers in order, you can just name a composer at random and it'll probably be there, because the quiz is so long. My suggestion would be to either have us answer them in order, or shorten it to around 10-15 answers. Or both. Also, in the past I've been a stickler for accent marks, but since you're clearly a classical music aficionado like myself I'll give you a pass. :-)

	Thanks Dan: I do usually leave off the accent marks just for the slight inconvenience, although clearly it is more accurate to add them in... I have toiled with the idea of forcing each answer....the reason why I chose not to is because it lowers the difficulty of the quiz, and I wanted to make it slightly more accessible while still being comprehensive (ie: not having just 10-15 composers)....but at the same time - it will force the player to learn a little bit more (or give up) if I do make it so that they have to be answered in order. I will take your suggestion to heart though :)

	Ok, I have tried it by forcing answers and it seems pretty manageable.....I'll post it like that :)

	How do you ask about Bartok and leave off Romanian Folk Dances?

	bluejaymaniac:	Feb 3rd, 2012 at 03:35 GMT		1 point
	@catcherj: Because he's better known for other works?

	@bluejaymaniac but he's not.

	Although that was the first work by him that I knew about, from my current perspective I feel like his string quartets, Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, and Mikrokosmos, in addition to what's on the quiz, is his music that made the biggest impact. I'm not taking anything away from Romanian Folk Dances since it's probably his best example of compositions based off of folk music, but I'm not convinced it's his biggest achievement.
