Neither vote is even close. If you have a preference, vote now before it's too late!

Well done on the reveal slideshow. It was more suspensful than it had any right to be, considering the pieces in the votes.

I have copied Siberian Husky's "Bunny" into my signature to aid his quest for world domination. Now you must do the same.
Now why can't I make this Courier New font...

Update on Grand Galop Chromatique vs. K. 141...
There was some bot spamming on this form. Before I deleted all the bots, the score was something like 600-80 in favor of the Galop. Now that I fixed the issue, K. 141 actually won with 97% of the vote and knocked out all 25 perfect brackets.
I'm terribly sorry for this issue, and I will try to make the forms more bot-proof in the future.

Happy music,
Liszt

How did you know which ones were bot submissions?

They all came in simultaneously and were exactly identical. Also, the email domain submitted didn't exist when I searched it up. (iirc the domain name was день сміху.ua)hint hint

By the way, I made a YouTube channel for Musical Madness and edited my signature to display a link to the video explaining the voter fraud thing in detail. If you need extra info, I encourage you to check it out. You can look at the rest of the stuff on the channel, from piece showcases to videos of the reveal slideshows.

Nice one. It didn't seem logical for it to end up with that many votes, but I didn't know if I should play along with it or be completely confused.

Thanks!
BTW, the link in my signature was actually a link to a rickroll. I changed it back today. Also, the domain was Ukrainian for April Fools.
