Description and Table of Contents

Description

Popular anecdotes represent Bruckner as a visionary simpleton, his life dominated by music and religion, but this bizarre figure is also widely held to have produced some the most original music written in the second half of the 19th century. The reminiscences collected here offer insights into a complicated and sometimes tormented mind. While some are content to dismiss him as a gifted country bumpkin, others describe a lively intellect, a compulsive student, and a meticulous musical theorist.
