[Anton Bruckner]

this symphony is unbelievable in the amount of poignancy it is able to manifest at the point in music history that it was written at. This symphony begins the 3 great works of Mozart in G minor. His 1st piano quartet in G minor continues the pathos, and it then reaches its apotheosis in his Symphony no 40 in the same key.

Ever since then they have been a bunch of mimicry of works in g minor, none of which are on par with what Mozart did. Schumann's Zwickau symphony, Tchaikovsky first, Brahms first piano quartet all written in G minor but to no avail. Beethoven learnt well and stayed away from this key.

Mozart! This is one of my favorites. LOVE IT!

I remember being in my study in a couple of my pastorates playing Mozart while studying....I didn't pastor churches that cared for Mozart. But it was okay.
