Anton Bruckner (; ) was an Austrian composer known for his symphonies, masses, and motets.

On the other hand, Bruckner was greatly admired by subsequent composers, including his friend Gustav Mahler, who described him as " half simpleton, half God ".

Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden ( then a village, now a suburb of Linz ) on 4 September 1824.

Bruckner's grandfather had gained the schoolmaster position in Ansfelden in 1776 ; this position was inherited by Bruckner's father, Anton Bruckner senior in 1823.

However, biographers do not regard the work as exceptional ; in his youth, Bruckner was gifted, but not a genius.

Bruckner's father died in 1837, when Bruckner was 13 years old.

The teacher's position and house were given to a successor, and Bruckner was sent to the Augustinian monastery in St. Florian to become a choirboy.

Bruckner was in awe of the monastery's great organ, which was built during the late baroque era and rebuilt in 1837, and he sometimes played it during church services.

Later, the organ was to be called the " Bruckner Organ ".

The living standards and pay were horrible, and Bruckner was constantly humiliated by his superior, teacher Franz Fuchs.

Despite the difficult situation, Bruckner never complained or rebelled ; a belief of inferiority was to remain one of Bruckner's main personal characteristics during his whole life.

The time in Kronstorf was a much happier one for Bruckner.

In 1855, Bruckner, aspiring to become a student of the famous Vienna music theorist Simon Sechter, showed the master his Missa solemnis ( WAB 29 ), written a year earlier, and was accepted.

A devout Catholic who loved to drink beer, Bruckner was out of step with his contemporaries.

In 1861 he had already made the acquaintance of Franz Liszt who, like Bruckner, had a strong, Catholic religious faith and who first and foremost was a harmonic innovator, initiating the new German school together with Wagner.

At the time there was a feud between advocates of the music of Wagner and Brahms ; by aligning himself with Wagner, Bruckner made an unintentional enemy out of Hanslick.

Once, after a rehearsal of his Fourth Symphony, the well-meaning Bruckner tipped the conductor Hans Richter: " When the symphony was over ," Richter related, " Bruckner came to me, his face beaming with enthusiasm and joy.

Bruckner was a lifelong bachelor who made numerous unsuccessful marriage proposals to teenage girls.

The 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 ).

After the Kronstorf period, Bruckner returned to St Florian in 1845, where, for the next 10 years, he would work as a teacher and an organist.

Another famous citizen was Anton Bruckner, who spent the years between 1855 and 1868 working as a local composer and church organist in the city.

The town is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of the composer and organist Anton Bruckner.

The composer Anton Bruckner ( 1824 – 96 ), who was a choirboy and later organist here, is buried beneath the organ inside the monastic church, which was elevated to the rank of basilica minor in 1999.

Historically, Steyr has had a number of well-known residents or visitors, including Franz Schubert who wrote his " Trout Quintet " there while on holiday, composer Anton Bruckner, was the organist at the local pfarrkirche, or parish church.

" In saying this, Bruckner both acknowledged his bad critiques and maintained hope that his own compositions might one day garner the same type of positive reaction that Beethoven's music received from his contemporaries.

He introduced Australian audiences to the works of Anton Bruckner, Dmitri Shostakovich, Béla Bartók and William Walton, and promoted Australian composers.

Next was the so-called Symphony No. 0 in D minor of 1869, a work which was so harshly criticized that Bruckner retracted it completely, and it was not performed at all during his lifetime, hence his choice for the number of the symphony.

Franck reinforced his understanding of German organ music and how it should be played by hearing Anton Bruckner at Notre-Dame in 1869.

* Bruckner: Mass in E minor ( 1866 / 1869 / 1876 / 1882 )

This work is the third symphony composed by Bruckner ; experts agree that it was written in 1869, after the Symphony that Bruckner himself regarded as his No. 1 and the earlier Study Symphony in F minor.

It heads north, partly following Westchester Creek through the eastern Bronx to Pelham Bay Park, where it meets the Bronx and Pelham Parkway and encounters I-95 just north of the point where it changes from the Bruckner Expressway to the New England Thruway.

Due to the proximity of the Bruckner Interchange, the crossroads of the Hutchinson River Parkway, the Bruckner Expressway, the Van Wyck Expressway, the Cross-Bronx Expressway, the Throgs Neck Expressway and the New England Thruway, there is convenient highway access to Throggs Neck from many parts of the New York area.

The main difference between versions is at the climax, for which in the 1887 version Bruckner managed to insert six cymbal clashes.

* Anton Bruckner gives a series of organ recitals in London.

The first A is an expansive threnody on solo cello ( Schmidt's own instrument ) whose seamless lyricism predates Strauss's Metamorphosen by more than a decade ( its theme is later adjusted to form the scherzo of the symphony ); the B section is an equally expansive funeral march ( deliberately referencing Beethoven's Eroica in its texture ) whose dramatic climax is marked by an orchestral crescendo culminating in a gong and cymbal crash ( again, a clear allusion to similar climaxes in the later symphonies of Bruckner, and followed by what Harold Truscott has brilliantly described as a " reverse climax ", leading back to a repeat of the A section ).

St. Florian's Priory, where Bruckner lived on many occasions during his life

Sechter's teaching would have a profound influence on Bruckner.

Later, when Bruckner began teaching music himself, he would base his curriculum on Sechter's book Die Grundsätze der musikalischen Komposition ( Leipzig 1853 / 54 ).

In 1868, after Sechter had died, Bruckner hesitantly accepted Sechter's post as a teacher of music theory at the Vienna Conservatory, during which time he concentrated most of his energy on writing symphonies.

A common explanation for the multiple versions is that Bruckner was willing to revise his work on the basis of harsh, uninformed criticism from his colleagues.

Also, it has been pointed out that Bruckner often started work on a symphony just days after finishing the one before.

In the 2001 Second Edition of the New Grove, Mark Evan Bonds called the Bruckner symphonies " monumental in scope and design, combining lyricism with an inherently polyphonic design .... Bruckner favored an approach to large-scale form that relied more on large-scale thematic and harmonic juxtaposition.

During the time that Bruckner began work on this symphony, he was aware that Wagner's death was imminent, and so the Adagio is slow mournful music for Wagner ( the climax of the movement comes at rehearsal letter W ), and for the first time in Bruckner's oeuvre, Wagner tubas are included in the orchestra.

The three Masses Bruckner wrote in the 1860s and revised later on in his life are more often performed.

Signs on Interstate 95 from the end of the Bruckner Expressway in The Bronx to the Connecticut state line ( and vice versa ) as well as Interstate 87 and Interstate 90 between the Bronx-Westchester line ( on I-87 ) and the New York-Pennsylvania line ( on I-90 ) designate the name as Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway, though this official designation is rarely used in reference to these roads.

East of the airport, I-78 would have turned north on the Clearview Expressway ( built north of Hillside Avenue in Queens and now I-295 ), run across the Throgs Neck Bridge, and forked into two spurs, ending at Interstate 95 via the Throgs Neck Expressway ( now I-695 ) and the Bruckner Interchange via the Cross Bronx Expressway ( now part of I-295 ).

Lieberman gains insight from Frieda Maloney ( Uta Hagen ), an incarcerated former Nazi guard who worked with the adoption agency, before realising during a meeting with Professor Bruckner ( Bruno Ganz ), an expert on cloning, the terrible truth behind the Nazi plan: Mengele, in the 1960s, had secluded several surrogate mothers in a Brazilian clinic and fertilised them with ova each carrying a sample of Hitler's DNA preserved since World War II.
