Milton Babbitt pointed out that the notes read from bottom to top of these two chords are Eb G Eb Bb Eb G Bb Eb: exactly the same order in which they appear in the theme from bars 4 - 6.

Great stuff! I've always wanted those first two chords to be mirrored in the last two chords of the whole symphony but nearly all recordings I've heard stretch out the second one thus nullifying the effect. Does someone have LvB's score to hand? Is a copy of the autograph score on the web?"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

They are very similar, Pet, except that the last two have a descending version of the tonic triad, and the last chord is a crotchet instead of the penultimate bar's quaver. And the finale is in duple time, the First movt in triple (which at dotted minim = 60, means that each bar of the first movement should take a second to perform).Originally posted by Petrushka View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Many thanks to FHG and Flay. My knowledge of score reading isn't that good so this is a bit of an education for me."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Most interesting Toscanini's tempi and Norrington's pitch!Comment

There are various reasoned arguments that I would suggest might dispute your opinion, Alison, and prefer the view that he was one of the finest conductors ever.Originally posted by Alison View Post
But I think Hornspieler put it far more eloquently![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Just thought his chords sounded a shade flaccid; probably the acoustic. :)Comment
