... I would have no idea how one would "write a symphony, especially in the "German" or "Romantic" tradition of consonance conquering dissonance, major conquering minor, etc.".I admit ashamedly that I'm musically untutored. To coin a phrase, "I don't know what's good, I only know what I like", and presently it isn't Bruckner. Nevertheless I will listen to his work from time to time. Sometimes perseverance pays off: for example, I'm beginning to enjoy Beethoven's late string quarters which long eluded me.
