Interesting article with a lot to think about.
My first (emphatically my FIRST) thought is, that the relationship between his music, especially the symphonies, and his physiognomy is one which hasn't been studied extensively previously, might contain some subconcious aspects and elements (the funeral marches as recurring theme e.g., as nicely and IMO convincingly elaborated by Bernstein in his Drumming boy documentary from the mid 1980s), but doesn't take in account the resurrection which the 10th symphony's finale IMO defines.
It is important to mention here too, that the 10th symphony's 1st mvt cataclysm is an afterthought. It was inserted into that movement as an immedate reaction following the discovery of Alma's infidelity. Without this 12-note chord with that trumpet playing that high a, the movement gets a quite different character. Obviously les cataclysmic. But not only that: it becomes consolitory, as a kind of acceptance of the final dissolution as displayed in the ninth's finale.
this attack/contradicts IMO the structure of the main line of the article.
Sofar some first thoughts . I'll return to this theme .
