Please could anyone explain to me about the tempo markings. Do the symphonies of Bruckner not indicate metronome markings? As I understand it (and my...
Hello Siggy: To the best of my knowledge, the only metronome marks in the autograph manuscripts of Bruckner's symphonies are found in the Finale of the Eighth...
The next issue of The Bruckner Journal has been sent to the printers! For me, this is a great weight off my mind, for it is the weightiest issue ever - 52...
Dear friends, What a structured masterpiece a Bruckner symphony is! Perfect order and harmony, structured in such a way that astounds and reminds one of...
... I don't think we need to blame your invisible friend for murdering Bruckner, he died because he was old and sick, and he had to die at some time. Whenever...
Yes Alan very true but I think the reason why we have the 9th Symphony in the extraordinary form it is in is that Bruckner was asking God every day to let him...
After I read Joshua's post, a new way to end the Ninth popped into my head. We have discussed the no-fourth-movement option, the Te Deum, Helgoland, the...
I agree entirely- the coda as in SPCM is Brucknerian but doesnt quite work. There may have been some new material that Bruckner introduced out of the blue that...
Yes I hope to post a new film of Wilder conducting the SPCM which is the best realisation I have heard so far. Kind regards to all of you. Brendan ... ...
Dear Friends: Regarding Bruckner's idea of ending the Ninth with the Te Deum (alone or with a transition from the Finale sketches), I think that the big...
Alan, I apologize. I came off too strong and not clear enough. In all sincerity it is with great admiration that I view all work on the 9th and all work on...
Yes Ken You are right I'm dyslexic I do reread my posts to check that I have spelt the works correctly but as some have noticed I'm not always successful. But...
Dear Stephen, et al.-- I think you make a valid point about the speculative nature of the coda, as opposed to the detailed musical content from Bruckner...
It's no matter, Widle, dyslexic or not, it's always impossible: you wouldn't believe the efforts I go to to expunge typos, ignorant or accidental misspellings...
John Langstaff, conductor of the Sheffield Symphony Orchestra, writes to tell me that on 19th April 2008 they will be performing Sibelius 6th and Bruckner's...
Hoist, rather promptly by my own petard: the conductor of the Sheffield Symphony Orchestra is not John Langstaff, but John Longstaff. Apologies to him. Ken ...
Yes Ken Very true - editing a journal can be a nightmare. The basic reason is simple normally even with a good speller and a spell checker we all manifest the...
I agree Ken! I've always sensed a strange, sort of oblique connection between the two-- they both kept me just a little off-balance the first times I heard...
Just so I won't be perceived as an anti-Ninth Symphony Finale curmudgeon (a curmudgeon, yes, but an anti-NSF curmudgeon, no), last month I wrote to the...
The Sibelius-Bruckner connection seems quite interesting. I haven't done any research on the matter, but I know Sibelius heard Bruckner's 3rd and was...

Dear friends: I have just upload to the group's file repository an MP3 file called "TEST_FIN_TE.MP3" with the transition from the Ninth's Finale to the Te ...
Dear Juan, The transition is fascinating! Thank you!!! Just when I thought I'd heard every note of late Bruckner! What if Bruckner's coda involved a short Te...
