GETTING TO BRUCKNER

ONE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC'S MOST TALENTED YET LEAST KNOWN COMPOSERS WAS
ANTON BRUCKNER.HIS WORK IS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER YET BECAUSE AS A PERSON HE WAS NOT A GREAT SELF-PROMOTER AND HIS STRICT ADHERANCE TO
TO HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS;HE HAD A FAIRLY LOW PROFILE IN HIS LIFETIME.STILL
BRAHMS KNEW OF HIS WORK AND INFLUENCES OF WAGNER CAN BE HEARD IN MANY OF HIS SYMPHONIES.HE DID HAVE IS OWN UNIQUE STYLE THOUGH,ONE WHICH I FIND TO BE HIGHLY ENJOYABLE AND WONDERFUL TO LISTEN TO.
ANYWAY,IF YOU GET TO BRUCKNER-IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD ALL THE MORE WELL KNOWN COMPOSERS{BEETOVEEN,CHOPIN,MOZART,
LISZT,ETC.}SO IN THAT RESPECT,IT'S A SIGNPOST OF SORTS THAT YOU AQQUIRED
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC AND IT'S GREAT COMPOSERS. P. HOLLY 8/5/07
