    Rued Langgaard, at age 18, used the same orchestra idea of repeating triads at the very end of his massive Symphony #1, completed at the same time (available on YT). He also seems to refer to the work in his opera Antikirst. The symphony is rarely played but sounds familiar at first hearing (it may have inspired "Sound of Music"). Langgaard must have heard GurreLieder performed before finishing his first symphony and been influenced by Schoenberg's style of post-romanticism.
