Thing is that, there was no way to "work" on the competition, at least for me. All you could do is stick on youtube, or your CD collection and keep listening music, until by random you hit the right track. Or at least try to restrain it to a certain period or style, which would be easier to work out.

Congratulations to the people who won! May they enjoy their new licenses of the lovely pianoteq!

Thanks for the license of this nice piece of software!!
It was a very challenging contest, I liked it very much!
A very original idea to create such a contest.

Thanks again!
Best regards

It was tough, but good. Those were great 3 weeks, I don't remember me listening so much classical music for long long time.

Cheers!

This was apparently a really hard nut to crack! After 3,074 listening sessions, only a small fraction of the listeners managed to identify most of the compositions in the medley.
