I am sure I am not the first on these boards to link Bruckner 5th to White Stripes ‘Seven Nation Army’ and hence to Jeremy Corbyn.

Blimey a connection from Bruckner to Corbyn. The mind boggles!

Is Mahler poking fun at the Merry Widow waltz in the last movement of the 7th symphony? The first four notes of the waltz are played twice, followed by two trills. It's as though the orchestra is laughing at it. Or perhaps he thought the waltz was fun and so provoking laughter. Or maybe it's none of that!

...and even more so when you read it described in the FT (https://www.ft.com/content/7cb66182-...b-f4624cccbabe ) as "the celebrated seven-note riff from the first movement of Bruckner's Fifth Symphony"...

Monteverdi’s Sì dolce è'l tormento in La bella pastora by JH Schmelzer
