An usual joke between anti-Bruckerians is that Bruckner "wrote the same symphony nine times (with their revisions) :P

The detractors of Bruckner have criticized the length of his pieces and the frequent repetitions. However, I got used to that and enjoy it in particular occasions, such as when reading or in the computer, more especially when getting concentrated. What a pleasant deep strength and sacred grace his music has. I like it very much.
