Would Bruckner approve of being on the same concert with a vuvuzela concerto?
On Kickstarter there's a guy trying to get funds to put an orchestral concert which would include Bruckner's Overture in G minor and March in D minor on the same concert as the Vuvuzela Concerto in B-flat major by John-Luke Mark Matthews. Alfonso already admits Keith Buckner pulled out of the concert as soon as he heard about the vuvuzela. The question is of course purely hypothetical; there are only a few days left and he doesn't have any backers at all.
So, hypothetically, if Anton Bruckner was alive to say yes or no, what do you think his answer would be?

Bruckner?

Anti-Conservative musical rebel?
I think he would tolerate it. At least it's not his last symphony.
- Bruckner was always struggling to get concerts for his werke. Hanslick put it that he was the 'running man of music.' From critics, from bankers, and also from angry orchestras. Whenever an orchestra would actually agree to play his werke, he would snap it up as a chance at fame. The 7th symphony was the closest he got to that, and just the audience giving him an ovation had him in tears.
So yes, I conclude that he wouldn't mind, given that he was also a revolutionary composer who wrote for unusual combinations of instruments(in particular, wagner tubas!?). He was a composer who loved to have his music played, and amen to that.
