ON,
I didn't necessarily mean listening to it while one is outside. Mahler's Symph's and Strauss' Tone Poems are, imvoho, are for *inside* use, ergo, when one is in one's easy chair in the living room or maybe in one's bedroom.

The Alpine Symphony can be listened to in a rather flat Maine natural environment (well, there is that mountain on that horizon), but it can prove somewhat hyperbolic when staring at the diamond giltters of the sun's reflection on a lake. And, frankly, the cow bells just don't fit! (sarcastic expression withheld)
Hi ON,
I have felt that the Cow Bells add a *bucolic* nuance to the *Alpine* - If one lets one's imagination really wander one can even smell the Alpine Pastures with little and pungent whiffs of cow patties
When I lived in Hawaii I saw the *glittering diamonds* when the Sun playfully casts its rays on the surface of the Pacific.
*If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-
*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."
