        Gosh, I'm not even sure I have one! I'm going to have to give this some thought...

          Yes can change, as there are many.
          Don’t cry for me
          I go where music was born

          J S Bach 1685-1750

            The only way to reply to this wicked question (or effect a bit of cheating ) must be: ​without thinking...

            The first thing to jump into my head was: Suk: Asrael Symphony.
            But ​with a quick think it was: Martinu Symphony No.4.

            Point that virtual choice-gun at me and it would be: Martinu 4.

              But when you're thinking about not thinking, you're thinking! It's a well known Zen conundrum.

                  For sheer joy, Schumann 1.

                  ( Pity poor Alpie, as the song goes......)

                  But as JLW suggests, on another day , there is nothing like Asrael.......

                    That was my second choice and was torn between that and Mahler 2.

                      We all make mistakes.

                      I'm still looking for my Holy Grail M2. Boulez comes closest, but I still love Rattle's.

                          When I saw the thread title, Asrael was just there in my head....I don't think I was thinking, not even about nothing or its close relative not-thinking...
                          How far do you want to take this...?

                            No worry, Jayne: it's probably not a discussion for this particular forum!
