Totally agree!!!!! I get really anoyed by all those music afficionadoes that consistantly push for the three "B"s of music: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. He has some terrific stuff, but it lasts for 8 bars and then dies away lingering for 15 minutes. Shame. Mahler did the same, but came to life instead of dying away. (Cite any Adagio Mahler wrote.)
