Can you please vote on which of these 15-second musical tracks you prefer?

This is a sort of scientific project I'm working on. Can you help me by voting on your preference between these two brief tracks? They're on this page:

What if you enjoy analyzing?

Reminds me of something Miss Manners said in one of her books. (!) She said I don't know of any difference between thinking you are happy, and being happy.

Lots of composers and theorists have lost support for that same reason. It's unfortunate because you can't write a good book on composition without offering some sort of a system. And any system will...

To me one of the most important books on music composition came at the very dawn of the classical period, Rameau's Treatise on Harmony of 1722. There were several followup books through the 1750s,...

I meant closer to the first, though I don't know what FFA stands for, and although the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive (?).

The book is still free on Google Books, though. When I have...

Actually, Rameau's eccentricities should not go unmentioned. Rameau (1683-1764) developed an interesting theory about music based on the overtone series. He had some real evidence to partially back...

Put it this way, classical music may not be as popular as pop right now, but in 100 years all of the current Top 40 songs will be forgotten and the favorite classical pieces will remain in society's...

Most of the time it sounds like garbage, but I think sometimes if it's played live it's not bad, because the performers tend to put more actual thought into it if they're in front of a live audience.

Apparently Bach once pulled a knife on a bassoonist and they had to be physically restrained.

Anyway, a very dark and beautiful piece in minor is the Bb minor fugue from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1. It has pretty difficult chords, but it's also slow which helps balance it out.

I taught myself piano, mostly without ever doing exercises or scales. Years later, I still don't know if that hurt me :P But I play every day.

If you have ever heard Bach's major keyboard pieces played on a good GERMAN harpsichord, the kind with the crashing sound and powerful bass -- that is thunderous. Unfortunately, you usually hear them...
