    NP. 0 is pretty good, 1 Linz good then he wasted his last years revising it so second version bad, 2 bad, 3 version one good, version two chopped up but OK, version 3 chopped up and bad, 4 version one scherzo bad, 4 version two pretty good, 5 version one he never heard so left it alone, then the Schalks screwed it up, 6 he left alone, 7 good, 8 version one into the dustbin, 8 version two good, 9 he didn't finish because he wasted too much time screwing up the revision of 1.

    That's Bruckner for you.

    Probably best labeled as "minimalist abstract."
    I don't have a problem with such art per se, but it would have been more appropriate to use it for an album of 20th century works-- like that "modern, newfangled" stuff that @SteelyTom was alluding to. ;)

    Not sure about cause and effect. I think he was having problems figuring out how to end B9 and that's why he went back and started revising earlier symphonies. The trajectory of the first 3 movements was tragic but unlike Mahler or Tchaikovsky he had difficulty writing such a finish.

    I believe that was the standard cover design for all their early classical LPs.

    True. The earliest ones are made of paper, not cardboard.

    “Little Russian.” That’s one of those symphony names that don’t work that well in English. I wouldn’t blame anyone who thinks it’s named after a Russian guy of rather diminutive stature. “Little Russia” is in fact the Ukraine.

    Same as with Schubert’s “Great”, which is actually not named like that because it is oh-so-great, but rather because it’s his second C-major symphony and it needed to be differentiated his smaller scale “Little C major Symphony”.

    Still a great symphony, though.
