Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major, WAB 104 (1st Version, 1874)

Description

It was not until 101 years after Bruckner first committed his Fourth Symphony to paperthat the work was published in its first version, by Leopold Nowak in 1975; it had its first hearing in the same year, in a performance in Linz by the Munich Philharmonic under Kurt Woss. The Scherzo isa movement which only exists in this version. It is highly interesting to comparethe final movement with the later fundamentally reworked version.
