In Reply to: Here is some advice from a non-maven posted by TGR on January 4, 2017 at 09:27:03:
. . . I think that's some good advice you provided, especially directing listeners to www.abruckner.com, even though that site could be overwhelming for a newbie.
I also agree with you about the 4-movement version of the Ninth Symphony, even though none of the completions I've heard is entirely convincing to me. I still think the symphony is better with its fourth movement, even in an imperfect completion.
As for the Fifth, that's one of my top faves (along with 8 and 9). ;-)
