9. no.
(Mahler's Bohemian, but you're right to ask, since he was part of the Austrian empire, and lived in vienna a while).

How about Bruckner?

Does the symphony have a title attached to it?

by **Catmando** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 11:02 pm

Disregard that last question bignaf. I just realized that all of Bruckner's symphonies are titled (whether or official or not).

I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that it's Bruckner's 4th symphony, Romantic.

Contains one of my favorite slow movements of any symphony. I just love 2nd movement!

I'll go out on another limb and guess it's his Symphony 0 since they play it frequently here and *ig mentioned he doesn't really like it (overplayed?).

no.
the 4th has the most good moments of any of his symphonies but still rambles.

no. and I don't like any of his symphonies (of those I've heard).

it's also not New World Symphony. so 3 wrong guesses. :twisted:

So now it's down to guessing a number from 0-9 with the exception of 0 and 4. Hmmm...how about 8?

nope. at some point I'll start making Bruckner symphony jokes. I can a write a "writing Brockner symphonies for Dummies" book. first step, start ppp with string tremolos. add a tablespoon of slow horn melody...

Technically speaking, are there 11 Bruckner symphonies?

11. yes

Darn! I wish I had a 2nd guess! I'm dying to get to do the question thing!

by **bignaf** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:36 am

you like jumping to conclusions don't you???

P.S. I see you like curling, did you see the Curling thread?

there is, or used to be, a Beethoven host who plays curling and is a big fan.

by **Catmando** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:58 am

I guess I do like jumping to conclusions!

Yes, I love curling, watching and playing.

Yes, I briefly saw the curling thread. Isn't Scott the big fan?

I'll have to have a thorough look at that thread, and bump it up!

I'm sure there are a large multitude of curling fans on BBB ((hee hee hee!)

by **bignaf** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 11:11 am

That thread was the first I heard of curling. not much ice where I grew up.

Can I still ask questions even though my guess is up?

j/k that's not 12...

Does the symphony in question contain 2 digits?

by **bignaf** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:15 pm

the symphony contains two digits. it contains many digits (page numbers). or do you mean the title?
