There's no way for me to confirm GBK's answer, cuz I was never very good at math.

BTW, where am I?

If the function f(Beethoven 1) is equivalent to the function g(Haydn 109), and f(Brahms 1) is equivalent to g(Beethoven 10), and f(Mahler 1) is equivalent to g(Brahms 5), then please express the value of [Bruckner 0] in terms of Haydn.

Is this headed back to a zeroth point....The BIG BAND theory of musical creation. ?
Or ahead to the nth symphonhy of all composers.?

Hopefully no detours through the Yale University of composition.

Watch out for the monoliths.

Not to be a party pooper or anything, but...

IMHO Brahms would have been insulted to know that Mahler was even suggested as his successor. Mahler and Brahms are idealogically and musically opposites for all intents and purposes.

Also, I seem to recall in my research that Brahms wrote a letter imploring Dvorak to take over some conservatory just so Bruckner wouldn't be able to ruin it.

Not that that answers the question though.

My Mahler reference was a tongue in cheek answer (a la Brahms magnified to the 10th power).

For the serious answer - Many historians feel that Max Reger is the one composer who carried on the stylists traits of Brahms into the next century...GBK

GBK - apparently I'm not so good with catching sarcasm :)

Reger is a good choice.

If I remember correctly, Hindemith was verly influenced by Brahms' compositional techniques. However, he's certainly not a candidate for Brahms No. 5.

I say Arnold Schoenberg, who orchestrated Brahms' Piano Quartet in G minor, and turned it into a symphony Brahms would have been proud of.

Hindemath: is that like (J.S. Bach + late Beethoven - Strauss) = Schoenberg?

Actually it is Elgar's second. Elgar's first is Wagner's first........

There are three types of people in the world.

One, those that can count, and
two, those that can't count.

Alseg,

I think you've worked out the Hindemath correctly for your first mathematical theorem (although you spelled Hindemith incorrectly. I know, doctor's handwriting and all that...).

But I'm not sure about your second theorem. I believe you want to multiply Alice Cooper with Arrowsmith(sp?) and leave the Dead out of the equation.

Boston = NYY + 5.0
Atlanta = Philadelphia = NYM - 5.0

All's well in the world.

Lets see:

Brahms' Sym.#1 "C"
Brahms' Sym.#2 "D"
Brahms' Sym.#3 "F"
Brahms' Sym.#4 "E"

Therefore his Sym. #5 would have been in "A"

He was using Mozart's popular theme from the "Jupiter Sym." as his basis for his Sym. keys "C", "D", "F", "E", "AAAA"

Too many WICKED's on Broadway (over 1000 performances and way too much time...)

Be well, my friends.
