Vanessa Pham and Jonathan Rogers skating to Scheherazade for their free dance at the 2023 Junior US Nationals, 2022 Junior Grand Prix Courchevel and 2022 Junior Lake Placid Ice Dance International and 2022 Junior Dallas Classic. I think Pham has two slightly different dresses.

[ID: reply by @pricklyest "wait do suites count. some people think they don't. it's too late bc I already submitted scheherazade but I'm thinking abt submitting the planets too." /end ID]

I'd like to compare apples to apples as much as possible, so when I made this I was thinking of including only straight symphonies ("symphony number x") and no suites or symphonic poems etc. Comparing the planets to Mahler 5 feels a lot different than comparing Bruckner 4 to Mahler 5.

But since this is a silly tumblr bracket after all... let's put it to a poll! Maybe more variety = more fun?

Here's that one sound from heaven you've heard once upon a time you've spent your life trying to find again

You know you're obsessed with a piece when you click on the timebar on YouTube to try to get to the second movement and it's extremely accurate.

Can’t hear you over the back and forth between the concert master, the clarinet, and the flutes in Rimsky Korsakov’s Scheherazade

"Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom," Ilya Repin, 1876

This painting was commissioned by Alexander III, and it is based on a "bylina," which is a type of Russian epic poem; the genre is very, very old (going back to the 12th century.) The painting depicts one of the "scenes" of the "bylina", where the merchant and musician Sadko, must choose one of the daughters of the "Underwater King" to marry (there is a lot more to the story.)

Rimsky-Korsakoff went on to write an opera based on the tale, which is beloved in Russia. Ilya Repin was invited to join the Russian Academy of Arts because of this work.

Today, the painting is at The State Russian Museum, formerly the Russian Museum of His Majesty Alexander III.
