I've always had a tough time understanding his music but just now as I was listening to his 6th symphony for the first time ever I was enchanted by this man's music. I would say that the reason it has taken me so long to like it is because the music is long AND very dense, thankfully since I'm improving in music it's gotten easier for me to follow his ideas. And I'm also taking a contemp. piano course so I guess all the weird and hard to follow music might have improved my listening skills. <.>Any late romantic recommendations similar to Bruckner's music? I want to get more in touch with the "really really long" symphonic works of that era.
