Scott Morrison responds to Margaret Mikulska: >>Mine must be Bruckner. I'll leave him for my old age. > >That's what I thought, too, but now that I've reached old age, nothing has >changed. >He still bores me to tears. Great for insomnia, though. I have yet to get a good grip on Bruckner's symphonies - such long and leisurely build-ups to his climaxes. However, I intend to give him another shot once the new year begins. With all this negativity on the thread about particular composers, I feel compelled to offer again my favorite composers: Bach, Froberger, Schumann, Chopin, Shostakovich, Scriabin, and Weinberg.
