	Anton Bruckner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden to a schoolmaster and organist father with whom he first studied music.
		Bruckner was a very simple man, and numerous anecdotes abound as to his dogged pursuit of his chosen craft and his humble acceptance of the fame that eventually came his way.
		Anton Bruckner Private University for Music, Drama, and Dance, an institution of higher education in Linz, close to his native Ansfelden, was named after him in 1932 ("Bruckner Conservatory Linz" until 2004).

		Anton made some suggestions that were incorporated, and he may have had an idea what Franz was doing, but it's doubtful he realized the full extent of the changes.
		Bruckner's big brass chords are sensuous beasties that revel in the glory of God's Creation (and occasionally agonize, as in the falling sevenths that bring the Adagio to ground); they want to be petted, stroked, savored.
		And Bruckner composed for a cathedral acoustic that's absent from today's concert halls and recording studios; where he left pauses to allow his huge reverberations to die away, we hear nothing (though the answer here might be to fix the acoustic rather than charge through the pauses).

	Anton Bruckner

		Bruckner moved to Vienna in 1868 when he was appointed professor of counterpoint and organ at the Conservatory.

		Bruckner received lessons in the violin from his father at the age of four, and took his first formal schooling in music theory at the age of eleven.

		Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824–11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer of the Romantic era.

	Anton Bruckner
		Bruckner taught at a teacher-training college, 1870-74, and at Vienna University - after initial opposition - from 1875.

		Bruckner was a deeply devout man, and it is not by chance that his symphonies have been compared to cathedrals in their scale and their grandeur and in their aspiration to the sublime.

	Notes on four Bruckner Motets
		Josef Anton Bruckner was born on September 4, 1824 in the upper Austrian town of Ansfelden.

	Joseph Anton Bruckner, Music Culture & Society
		Comparison is often made of Austrian composer Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) and German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883).
		Bruckner's language is the magnificent and glorious sound of brass, timpani and the songs of the birds expressed so serenely and sadly by the tone of the winds.
		Bruckner's dedication of the 3rd(1873) are witness to this fact.

		And while it may not be entirely characteristic of Bruckner's later style, it is the first work in which we feel the presence of his distinctive symphonic voice.
		Bruckner himself was always fond of this symphony: he nicknamed it "die kecke Beserl" (an almost untranslatable phrase that has been rendered variously as the "impudent urchin" or the "saucy young thing") and late in his life identified it as his boldest symphony.
		Bruckner reported that Bülow was delighted by the symphony's "beautiful ideas" but horrified by the boldness with which Bruckner developed them.

	Anton Bruckner
		Bruckner wished this to be appended to the three complete movements of his 9th symphony, which his last illness (ending in his death at Vienna on the 11th of October 1896) prevented him from finishing.
		It is probable that the impression produced by this 9th symphony is the deeper as owing little or nothing to the musical politics which had gone far to prevent the 7th symphony from standing on its own unmistakable merits.
		It does not, however, seem likely that Bruckner's work will have much influence on musical progress; for the modern characteristics in which its strength lies are obviously better realized in other forms which have often been handled successfully by composers greatly Bruckner's inferiors both in invention and sincerity.

		And when Bruckner then sent it to Hermann Levi, the conductor who had led his 7th to great success, the latter did not understand this very different work at all and utterly rejected it, almost driving Bruckner to suicide.
		Bruckner suggested using his Te Deum as a Finale, which would complete the homage to Beethoven's 9th symphony (also in D minor), but he was intent on completing the Symphony.

	classical music - andante - vienna philharmonic: anton bruckner
		Wagner's music is restless, sensual and propulsive, while Bruckner demands that we enter his symphonies in much the same way we would enter a house of worship — to reflect and meditate within the extraordinary sound space that the composer has prepared for us.
		Time is suspended; a great Bruckner performance calls to mind a long, fervent prayer that is in the process of being answered even as we listen.
		Put another way, the quietude in a Bruckner symphony is at least as imposing as the palpable grandeur.
