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

Totally agree

Bruckner intended a 4th movement of the 9th and composed most of it. To not include the last movement in a performance is like playing the first 3 movements of Beethoven's 9th only, a distortion of the composer's intentions.

BTW - I also feel that playing the Adagio only of Mahler's 10th is also a distortion of Mahler's intentions - either play one of the completions (and these are more speculative that the last movement of Bruckner's 9th) or don't play it. The movement does not stand by itself as a complete work.
