>anti-Liszt testament
Yeah, but I feel that was more a declaration of intention regarding the future of german music and less a declaration that these new germans (in spirit, some of them; let's not forget Berlioz was considered part of that group too, no to mention Liszt) were their sworn enemies and musical antithesis. In fact I see Bruckner as a potential bridge between the two "groups" that was, oddly enough, ultimately rejected by both. Don't forget that the Wagnerians were also very harsh and insultingly condescending to him, too, like he was just a child trying to play grownup while everyone around was going aww. Wagner had to recognise his talents and his personal dedication because otherwise he'd lose face, but as usual he's a special case. I am with you in
>Sadly I don't think Brahms ever warmed to Liszt.
But I think that's more to do with Liszt being already quite old at that point in his career and only interested in watching from afar as he secretly continued to push structural and harmonic techniques way into the future via small but compelling pieces. He was in his own beautiful little world is what I'm trying to say.
