30Q#5

Postby bignaf » Wed Jun 07, 2006 12:16 am

I figured since we have 30 questions, we'll call it 30Q.
This time I'll do a tough (I think) piece, which I don't particularly like... :twisted: hahaha just to make your life difficult.
fire away!

Did the composer leave a symphony unfinished (for some time, at least, supposedly due an illness - that's what I heard H.R.H say :wink: )?

Ok, I'll retire for the night...err..morning with this question. Does the composer's last symphony bear the name of a city?

I'm sure this too will be solved when I look in the morning. :roll:

(Mahler's Bohemian, but you're right to ask, since he was part of the Austrian empire, and lived in vienna a while).
