Round 1-2 has come to a conclusion, and so we move on to match 3. Vote for which song you think is harder!

Heroic Polonaise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW0Y3M4EJ4M
Op. 7 Toccata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYWPhVizpZ8

Bracket:

Also, so this tournament will be completed faster, I've decided to do 2 matches at a time. Both matches close at noon (US Eastern time) on March 10.

I just realized I messed up on the end time for both rounds 1-3 and 1-4; they should've been ~5 pm, not 3. Apologies for the error, I'll try to have that fixed for the rest of the matches.

I voted for the polonaise because I never heard or saw the Schumann. Apparantly I'm in the minority...

Now why can't I make this Courier New font...

I attached links to videos of people playing the pieces in the OP. You could've clicked the link or looked it up.
Once again, I ask that if someone doesn't know/isn't familiar with a piece, that they please watch a video of someone playing it so they can make a vote that is accurate to their opinions.

I realised that when I went to look at the other vote 😭
As I mentioned in last post wins, I'm really dumb 😭
