Obviamente, influenciadas pela eleição que decorre actualmente neste blogue (AQUI), em 2004 a ABC Classic FM e a revista Limelight promoveram uma eleição da peça para piano "sem a qual não poderíamos viver".
Quase 10.000 pessoas votaram o que resultou num guia (australiano) com as 100 obras-primas para piano.
Mais de 10 horas de música foram reunidas em 8 CDs e um CD extra com as 10 mais votadas.
