The mice have returned, he said.
The elder said nothing. Watt wondered if he had heard.
Nine dampers remain, said the younger, and an equal number of hammers.
Not corresponding, I hope, said the elder.
In one case, said the younger.
The elder had nothing to say to this.
The strings are in flitters, said the younger.
The elder had nothing to say to this either.
The piano is doomed, in my opinion, said the younger.
The piano-tuner also, said the elder.
The pianist also, said the younger.

I'm looking for Bruckner. How does Furtwangler end the 7th, because Van Beinum leaves me a bit unsatisfied; like there's no conclusion nor a solution and I don't know if I should like it or not......
The strings keep on whining while the horns enter before the final trumpets tatter their depressed coda and I've been used to hearing this as a climax instead of an acknowledgement of the tragedy in the first two movements...

Confused,

i'll listen when i get home and tell you. it's been some time since i've heard Furtwangler/Bruckner 7---i've been trying to listen to everybody else, so that i can get it over with and go back to FW with a clear conscience.
