Bruckner? Mahler? None of the above?
It's too bad there's no DNA test to help determine who wrote a piece of music. In today's show, an orphaned symphonic prelude performed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. Some say Anton Bruckner wrote it, no doubt about it. Others say no way. It was Gustav Mahler, no doubt about it. The fact is, there's more than enough doubt to go around. We can't definitively say who wrote it. And from that same concert in Amsterdam, a work of much more certain parentage: a flashy, brassy orchestral work called the Sinfonietta. Leos Janacek wrote it for a gymnastic society in 1926.
