In the Thread: First Bruckner listening for Neanderthals.

Post Subject: Some ideas....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/26/2014

The 3rd movement of 8th of cause is very much quintessential Bruckner and from my colored perspective probably then best adagio ever composed. Still might it be the first thing, the "easy Bruckner" that new people might need?

With the guy who visited me a few days ago I was debating between, the 3rd movements of 1st, the 1st movement of 6th, the 1st or 3rd movement of 7th, the 2nd movement of 8th. Then I decided to experiment and played the 1st movement of 9th. I was a bit afraid that the repetitive nature in the end might turn him off. They of cause are not recurring but slightly different takes but new listener might not get into nuances.

Anyhow, the Bruckner was in the end of the listening session (what else one can play after that!!??) and wify went to sleep long before. On the morning she asked me what did I play and I said that I ended up with B9 first movement. She said that she knows and she heard it. I said that I am surprised and I thought she was sleeping. She said that not only her but the whole neighborhood hear my Bruckner last night. It make me almost horny….
