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

Great points

Both of you...I hadn't thought about it quite from these angles, just that the 9th made sense to me in a more fundamental way when I first heard it in four movements. Knowing that Bruckner intended it to be four movements, and composed most of that last movement, to me means that anyone who plays it without the last movement is not in fact doing justice to the intentions of the composer.

Another point on Mahler...he normally made extensive changes to his symphonies after performing them. He never heard Das Lied or the 9th...so if we don't play the 10th, because it is just a realization....wouldn't logic demand that the 9th and Das Lied also not be played since they don't reflect the composer's final thoughts?
