Great job. I must say I'm surprised that many people knew 4'33". lol.

On Radio New Zealand's Concert station they do an annual programme called Settling the Score, where they get viewers to nominate their top 3 pieces, and at the end of the year they spend a whole day playing the 100 most popular choices. I got all my friends (and their friends' friends, etc) to nominate 4' 33". When it didn't appear on the programme I figured I just hadn't recruited enough fans. Sometime the following year an announcer mentioned that it had actually ranked 7th but the station just couldn't bring themselves to play it! It's not only politicians in dodgy countries who rig elections.

Missed out only on Huapango. But then I got all the rest so quickly I had plenty of time to google! :-Þ Sorry. ;-) Anyway, this is a much better quiz than the first one, more challenging. :-)
