1original version of Bruckner's symphonies by the Musikwissenschaftliche Verlag, Vienna, led to a controversy as to whether the previously known copies had been indefensibly altered and ed. by his pupils Ferdinand Loewe and the brothers Franz and Josef Schalk. But evidence was adduced to show that B. approved these changes.
2His choral works include three Grand Masses, a "Te Deum," a Requiem, motets, psalms, and various church music, pcs. for male chorus. C. also a string quintet.
3The fame of B. has grown to great proportions since his death, not only in Germany and Austria, where he is considered a classic in the great line of Romantic composers, but also in other countries. An International Bruckner Soc. devotes itself to furthering perfs. of his music. The best passages in his works are undoubtedly of noble fervour and breadth, some even approaching sublimity, but other pages are clumsy, repetitious, and lacking in contrast. The influence of Wagner is evident in his scores.
