Or do they work like exponents, or logarithms?<br /><br />I think I've heard it insinuated, at least, that (for a concert program) X + Brucker = 0, a property usually reserved for multiplication.Sator Arepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006808744513156317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-75058917478853669792010-01-13T13:50:24.068-08:002010-01-13T13:50:24.068-08:00I think that socialism will always be funny. But ...I think that socialism will always be funny. But Masur's transportation issues are pretty funny as well. <br /><br />And "moral authority"...I just love the way the author dropped into a sentence about the performance of a Bruckner symphony. Fabulous. I guess I should have noted that Masur's facist regime was socialist! Those words mean the same thing, right?Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-39760169956710157792010-01-11T20:47:51.030-08:002010-01-11T20:47:51.030-08:00Are "trucks" 2010's answer to 2009&#...Are "trucks" 2010's answer to 2009's "socialism" on the DR?<br /><br />I suppose it is truck month, in any case.

Not that I think there's an issue of misunderstanding here, but why err on the side of less clarity? Plus, when the rest of your article is all over the map, we need those sort of anchors to help us poor readers out.Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316458340368681169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-45404167185934588382010-01-11T13:36:36.526-08:002010-01-11T13:36:36.526-08:00In fairness, when discussing Bruckner, or, as he&#...In fairness, when discussing Bruckner, or, as he's sometimes known, "bruckner," it's only reasonable to refer to his symphonies by number alone.<br /><br />Because, I mean..."Bruckner's Seventh" could also refer to his seventh...what, quartet? Sonata? Horn Trio? Concerto for, uh, some instrument-type deal?<br /><br />I suppose that it could mean "seventh never-, ever-, ever-performed sacred choral work," but those are usually referenced by title and not The Great Cardinal Numbering System reserved for Massive Works of Personal Statement and Import.<br /><br />It's also worth noting that only Bruckner has a "Symphony No. 0" to his credit. That's a nice trick, if you can pull it off.Sator Arepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006808744513156317noreply@blogger.com
