Yeah Mahler's awesome! ;D

:D

Which is your favourite of his, David? Mine would be either 6,7 or 9. As you can see, I love the later symphonies in particular. :)

He used to go by the name of mahlerfan(999?) a long time ago.
QuoteOh, I should think you will: one of his former handles is mahlerfan ; )
QuoteYeah Mahler's awesome! ;D

Well, I have just to admit that I'm rather surprised about how much Mahler is adored in this forum; definitely no problem though, he's also one of my absolute favourite composers. ;)

'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'

Mahler has risen from the dead? No one told me.

But I will tell you that you are apparently confusing two different parables: the lost son was not physically dead, but just lost, as our DavidW. It was Lazarus who rose from the death.  ;)

BTW, Gurn, your quote of Clever Hans (a very clever quotation, indeed) has a slight typo.
