Round 1: Chopin vs. Gillian Welch [Match X]

Chopin - Etude in A Flat Major (KrubixCube)




VS


Gillian Welch - Elvis Presley Blues (Avidacridjam)



Once again...the random number generator really wants me and Avid to kill each other with knives.

I'd rather kill the generator. Who/what the fuck would pair these two and why?

Went with Chopin. I liked the soft sound of Gillian Welch's song, but I guess I found Chopin's composition more interesting, if a bit short.

Easy choice for me. I like romantic era composers, I don't like country. Though this is far from the type of country that I really hate. This match-up is just strange. Silly generator

I usually don't like country, but I dug this one. The Chopin song didn't really do a whole bunch for me. So yay country? Ew...

Welch is folk artist. Her stuff would never get played on country radio (good).

There's always a risk choosing classical stuff...especially piano. I personally like this song but it's not Chopin's strongest, so I'm surprised it edged out. Given, if this song was played at my funeral i'd be happy. I like that the left hand on this song is really complex and the right is so simple...makes a nice contrast for me.
