Mahler wrote some great everything parts. People focus on his use of brass too much, I think.

>> No.45327850

to me, mozart's k 504 is just about the most perfect symphony ever, even though i don't consider the symphony central to mozart's overall oeuvre

besides that, bruckner, webern, schoenberg, mahler, carter and haydn deserve special mentions

>> No.45327869

>>45327850
beethoven and brahms too, obviously.

>> No.45327963

>>45327850
I'll add Shostakovitch and Sibelius to this list.

Personally, I'd pick haydn as my favourite symphony composer.

>> No.45328004

>>45327963
i'm too continental to fully appreciate sibelius, and shostkovich i only like the more private works - which includes some symphonies, like the very last one.

and haydn is very close to the top as well. he always needs more love.

i read those two posts as a reference to one of boulez' trolls, here, have a list of them

>Brahms
"a bore”

>Tchaikovsky
“abominable”

>Verdi
“stupid, stupid, stupid!”

>Schoenberg
"most ostentatious and obsolete romanticism”

>Webern
“too simple”

>Berg
“bad taste”

>Ravel
“affectation”

>Shostakovich
"a second, or even third, pressing of Mahler"

>contemporary twelve-tone music
"overrun by number-fanatics engaging in frenetic arithmetic masturbation”

>Messiaen
“brothel music”

>John Cage
“performing monkey"

>Stockhausen
“hippie"

>American minimalism
“a supermarket aesthetic”

>American serialism
“a cashier’s point of view”

>>45328152
way to be pedantic. webern wrote many works that are to be considered symphonic, save for their title - "im sommerwind", the passacaglia, the orchestral variations, etc.

>> No.45328237

>>45328004
Do you at least like Sibelius's 7th? It's one of my favourites of his.

>>45328144
Boulez famously referred to Shostakovich as the second or third pressing of Mahler.
