Yep, "A Guide to the Symphony" edited by Robert Layton is a great source of information... and Brahms gets only a handful pages of treatment. In addition to dedicated chapter on Bruckner, there's also one on Sibelius - written by the same author, Philip Coad. There's also a chapter on Mahler, Beethoven, French, American music and a host of other interesting topics... . I found the chapter on Bruckner interesting for which he states 2 contradictions concerning B (1- B's lack of creative output works for organ and (2) his symphonic revisions).
"The criterion for such a decision was, I believe, because Bruckner was considered to have had more
individual influence on the development of the Symphony than Brahms."
yes... it has been said that the tremendous structures of Bruckner's symphonies and mes have completed the heritage of Viennese clicism and at the same time opened the door to the 20th century. Mahler, Strauss, Schönberg and Berg can hardly be conceived without him!
Nielsen's symphonies... i need to revisit them ...for i was not too receptive at first iteration. I like most of Brahms' music - the two piano concertos, and especially, the violin concerto, his 1st and the 4th symphonies especially. His 2nd is serene, the 3rd... i don't know how to put it (it's getting quite late - 4:30am).
What a waste for Eduard Hanslick (Brahms, Clara Schumann...) and the rest of anti-Wagnerian forces to gang up on poor Bruckner... for in the end, political forces were no match for the purity of his 7th symphony - the time when critical acceptance and official honours came his way during the last decade of his life. -- Ara A.
