    Many more of course, such as Dorati, Kletzki, Mitropoulos,
    Paray, Kubelik, and going back to the likes of Weingartner,
    Furtwangler and so on. I'm surprised no-one has recorded
    a CD entitled "The Conductor Composes" with a selection
    of short pieces featuring as many names as possible.
    Furtwängler takes the cake with his Symphony no. 2:

    It blends every German music style from
    Schubert to Schoenberg in under 2 hours!

    Wasn't Pfitzner like Mahler--better known in his own time as a conductor rather than as a composer?
