I came out as the 4th.

I am the 3rd, which is my least favorite of the four:

Face itâ??you are full of yourself, and often worry about how you are perceived by others. This means that you are often a lonely person. When you decide you want something, you take it, but occasionally are stricken by bouts with deep sadness. You tend to polarize those around you. Congratulations!

I come out as the Fourth. And I do not necessarily diagree with the description of my personality....it has some accuarate points. BUT the Third is my favorite, by a lot! So what does this say about the quiz?......

Mozart

What Brahms Symphony are you?
Your Result: You are the First Symphony!


You aspire to greatness and always give it your best effort no matter the endeavor. This perfectionist tendency earns you much respect and admiration, except from whom you most desperately need it: yourself. At times you could benefit from a little relaxation, or perhaps some downright laziness, but you get more satisfaction from hard work. Congratulations!

The bar was like 4/5 full on the 1st symphony haha weird! It is my fav of the 4.

It is very curious. The result was the 4th, indeed my favorite Symphony. Then the 3rd, the 2nd and the first in last place. Exactly my feeling about the four Symphonies.

Me, the Fourth. Mrs. Rock, the Third

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

The 2nd, with the bar not more than 55% full. Underneath, the remaining 45% is under the 4th symphony. Well, they happen to be my favourites  :D (in the reverse order, although the finale of 2 is my pick from all the symphonies).

OTOH it just so happens that I have the most versions of the 1st, which is also my least favourite. I think it's because the work's greatness is masked a bit by a more bloated architecture: an imposing façade with not enough windows. I need more diversity of angles to fully appreciate it.

Says i'm the 3rd..... the runner-up is the first. It would be the first if that symphony had ended in a slow, melancholy mood instead of a fast, triumphant mood.

I came out as the First, my least favourite of the four.
"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."
-- Aaron Copland, The Pleasures of Music

Drasko

The 3rd, with just small percentage going to the 1st.






Bach Man

The third. Guess I'm full of myself. But I already knew that.

I didn't really read the blather about coming out as '2', with an ascendant in the 4th moon symphony.  But musically it fits quite nicely.

Mark

A reasonable balance between the Fourth and Second. Thought I prefer his First and Third ...

Bach Man

Maybe opposites attract. After all the question was which symphony you ARE.
