Zusammenfassung:Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony is one of the most beloved & frequently performed works in the orchestral repertoire. Despite this, a great deal about the work & its genesis has been either unknown, poorly understood, or starkly misrepresented. The work's extraordinary history is the source of much of this confusion. Bruckner worked on the Fourth over 15 years before he finally published the score in 1889. During the process, he created several earlier versions of the work, which remained unknown until decades after his death. The first attempts to comprehend the work's compositional history were made by German scholars in the 1930s, but these not only proved partial but sowed the seeds of a long tradition of misunderstanding. This book offers the first complete account, which draws upon numerous previously overlooked sources, of the extraordinary compositional evolution of this magnificent symphony
