Schubert - second poll questions

[french frank]

I'm trying to think up some telling questions for the second poll. I think I can set this as multiple choice.

Suggestions (up to 10):


Altogether an impressive enterprise

Plenty of interest, even for a Schubert fanatic

Knew little of his music but now appreciate it more

Good and less good content, but on balance engaging

Good and less good content, and on balance off-putting

Liked the general tone and presentation

Much of the presentation and tone was irritating

The schedule was confusing

Like the total immersion coverage

Hate the saturation coverage




Five are broadly positive, five negative. Any better suggestions, keeping the same balance?

I think it should be possible to vote for as many or few as you like.

[Don Petter]

Only immediate thought - Do the last two mean much the same thing?

[Vile Consort]

For the sake of balance, you should offer a positive option about the presentation and tone.

[Simon]

"Saturation" is a negatively loaded word. In fact, I don't think you need numbers 8 and 9 at all.

I'll change the positive one to 'total immersion' then, which is the R3 term. Why don't you need those questions?

Yes, to the other two ...

OP updated (in a moment).

Given that we can vote for as many or as few as fit our views - I'd probably tick 3 boxes - I think it's very fair and that you've done a sterling job. The rewording seems to make things balance better.

[Don Petter]

Looks pretty good to me.

[Carmen]

I agree you've done a good job. The only thing that bothers me is that all of the suggestions assume listeners stayed tune during the whole week, when a lot of us tuned out for 200+ hours. But maybe you just want the poll to be for people who actually listened to all or part of it?

In both style and content, an impressive enterprise

Good content and, on balance, engaging

Although I knew quite a bit of Schubert's music, the week was of interest

I knew something of his music and now appreciate it more

Variable content and, on balance, off-putting

I disliked the length of the coverage

May or would have preferred the programmes as series

The presentation and tone were engaging

The presentation and tone were of varying effectiveness

Much of the presentation and tone were off-putting

I wouldn't suggest my efforts are better but they have a little more neutrality and therefore perhaps invite a little more reserve in responses. 'Hate' is an extreme word while 'dislike' covers a range negative reactions.
