It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

It's too simple to dismiss Bruckner based on...

68.57.91.150

outward form. Like a Rothko painting, or the "sameness" that is the expanse of the universe or the swellings of the oceans, the profound nature of Bruckner's music is in the broad expanse of the colors, the points of incredible light piercing through the background and the long -- flat out VAST -- development of huge waves of power that are Bruckner's trademarks. They define his music as a totally unique contribution to Classical music.

It's OK to dismiss him because he is not saying what one likes to hear. It is unthinking to brand Bruckner as not having anything important to say, or to deny his effectiveness at saying it. Don't be fooled by outward sameness: all humans look the same, is that a satisfactory summary of their value?
