admirers of 50% of symphonies



I have been trying & failing to render into Jbobau three different
interpretations of "(the) admirers of 50% of Brahms's symphonies"
[a nonspecific pair of his 4 symponies].
 (1) Each admirer admires some but not necessarily each of this 50%
     of symphonies
 (2) Each admirer admires each of the same 50%
 (3) Each admirer admires each of a possibly different 50%

In the sentence "I met all the admirers of 50% of Brahms's symphs"
these interpreations give us, respectively:

 (1) There are two of B's S's such that I met all their admirers (everyone
     who admires either of them).
 (2) There are two of B's S's such that I met everyone who admires
     both of them.
 (3) I met everyone who admires two of B's S's.

Any of our didactic friends care to take this on for me?
