Hi Jack, That is a question I can't answer. I can look it up for you. How do you like the images of Bruckner and Nikish on 'Blanc Kunstverlag'? Nice isn't it? ...
Hi Jack, I found Franz Hanfstaengl (1804-1877) did much photography on Liszt, Schumann and Chopin, but till now that is as far as I got in the search. Regards,...
Hi Gert, I think Schumann was photographed the first time in 1845, the famous one where he's resting his head on his hand. It's true, I know of no photo of...
... Gee! Next we'll find a Schubert fan who likes green beans or a Mahler devotee with three children or a Debussy lover who owns a dog!! And then, dare I...
... Gee, George, is that really so? I think that it's very tough to map music and politics, but I always thought of Brahms as conservative and Wagner and Liszt...
Hi Stephen, I didn't use the word "most" twice in the same phrase. I of course agree that it makes no sense to map politics and music. I just wanted to...
I wouldn't say that Bruckner wrote as though Schumann never existed. His first attempts at orchestral writing, namely the f-minor Symphony and 3 short...
Hi George - I didn't mean to accuse you of using most twice in the same phrase. Sorry if I gave that impression... Actually never heard of Notley nor the Mayer...
the Rhenish is the Schumann symphony that sounds most Brucknerish in my view, though I think the resemblance, mostly in the fourth movement, is more apparent...
Stephen, I didn't feel that you accused me. I actually omitted two words from the phrase "I didn't use the word "most" twice in the same phrase". The two words...
eric--where do u get the info that senor adolf adored B? i dont think B would have countenanced H's final solution for the mentally ill; and was it not true...

It's a matter of record that Hitler loved Bruckner more than any other composer, even Wagner. Wagner, as a matter of fact, was Hitler's THIRD-favorite...
Hi Eric - Missed the source for your statement that Bruckner was Hitler's favorite composer (as if that means anything). Ian Kershaw's formidably documented...
Even bad people can like good music. Wasn't the Bruckner Orchestra Linz established under Hitler? Wasn't Hitler going to make Linz a cultural showplace?...
Points taken. As for my listings of Hitler, Saddam and Milosevic, I was only providing a few examples among dozens of monsters, living and dead. I'm sorry I...
I'm not sure if it was. But yes -- *anybody* can enjoy music which is why we have the saying "Music is an international language." You take all the summit...
It seems to me that all one need remember is that Bruckner came from Upper Austria and that Hitler undoubtedly heard Bruckner's music in Vienna, even if he...
Whaaat...?! Do you know the source for this tidbit? If Strauss didn't like the Brahms Fourth Symphony, what did he think of the other three? By the way, does...
If there are some, I'd like to know where they are Liszted. ;-D Pace Eric Jack Kelso <jkelso@...> wrote: Whaaat...?! Do you know the source for this...
To be perfectly Franck with you, Eric---after Haydn my face with my Bach to the wall, I couldn't Handel your pun....but how do you Telemann a thing like...
I believe that I have read that Liszt left behind a Bruckner score dedicated to him (the final version of the Second Symphony?) and that Bruckner, miffed,...
So...that leaves the question: Did Liszt leave the score behind on purpose---? Or did he just forget it? Liszt wouldn't have been envious of Bruckner's...
Otto Strasser in his book "Und dafuer wird man noch bezahlt". Strasser and 3 other Wiener Philharmoniker paid a visit to Strauss in Garmisch on the occasion of...
Yes, George--please do check. Funny, Brahms' music rubbed quite a few renowned composers the wrong way. Milhaud felt a certain artificial, "overblown...
Jack, I'll revert most probably early next week for the book isn't within my reach right now. As for Wolf, I think that you know the story. Wolf thought highly...
