Josef Anton Bruckner (* 4. September 1824 in Ansfelden, Oberösterreich; † 11. Oktober 1896 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Komponist der Romantik, sowie Organist und Musikpädagoge. Erst spät im Leben von den Zeitgenossen als Komponist gewürdigt, gehörte er doch zu den wichtigsten und innovativsten Tonschöpfern seiner Zeit und hat durch seine Werke bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein großen Einfluss auf die Musikgeschichte ausgeübt. Seine bedeutendsten und wohl auch bekanntesten Kompositionen sind die groß angelegten Sinfonien. Des Weiteren hat er vor allem die Kirchenmusik um wichtige Werke (unter anderem drei große Messen und ein Te Deum) bereichert. Bruckner gilt zudem als einer der größten Organisten der Musikgeschichte; Bewunderung riefen seine Improvisationen hervor.

Frühe Jahre: 1824–1845

Bruckner kam am 4. September 1824 im oberösterreichischen Dorf Ansfelden als ältestes von elf Kindern des Lehrers Anton Bruckner sen. (1791-1837) und dessen Ehefrau Therese geb. Helm (1801-1860) zur Welt. Da zu den damaligen Pflichten eines Dorfschullehrers auch kirchenmusikalische Dienste, wie Kantoramt und Orgelspiel, sowie das Aufspielen als Tanzbodengeiger auf Festen gehörten, kam der junge Bruckner über seinen Vater bereits früh mit der Musik in Kontakt und lernte den Umgang mit Violine, Klavier und vor allem der Orgel. Bereits mit etwa zehn Jahren fungierte er gelegentlich als Aushilfsorganist.

    Bruckner's attitude reminds me of Schopenhauer: seeking quietude through intense realization. Mahler is more neurotic, dramatic.

    Very interesting article indeed, and remarkably well balanced too, I would have thought that in the context when it was written, that he would have put more emphasis on the similarities between the two. 1940 is still a while before both Bruckner and Mahler reached the peak of popularity that we can see today (and this especially true in the latter case), seems to me that in such a case it would have been very tempting to exaggerate the points of agreement between those two then negliged composers.

    I agree with that, that's probably something that comes from the respective personalities of the two composers. Walter says something in the same vein when he mentions that "at bottom Bruckner's spirit was repose, Mahler's unrest." which he follows with the also very accurate: "Bruckner's musical message stems from the sphere of the saints; in Mahler speaks the impassioned prophet.". So I think that this "social" dimension to Mahler's music in contrast to Bruckner's more introspective character is something that he understood fully.

    Interesting article, Taxes. Although Mahler and Bruckner have undeniable similarities, there is one fundemental difference, I think. Bruckner is a much more "existential" composer in the sense that his music deals with existence itself. At least in his symphonies, there's no room for other persons than the listener. It's you left alone with the mountains and the valleys - while you search for any proof that you actually exist in a psychological sense. Mahler was a much more "social" composer. His music could only exist in between human relations.

    Some interesting stuff here http://www.uv.es/~calaforr/walter.html, the famous Bruno Walter essay on the nature of Bruckner and Mahler. It's nice to see him note the parenting between Schubert and the two later composers, and unsurprisingly perhaps, his Bruckner Seventh is some of the most Schubertian non Schubert that I've heard. Holy fucking walls of text though, when will you silly German speaking people ever learn? :o

    Ok, good. Hug accepted. Also, most of my friends who like to irrationally hate on Bruckner, like me, admit that he was an excellent composer. I don't know, people from Vienna feel entitled to hate on him.

    No but seriously, what kind of twisted person would someone have to be to dislike something like the Seventh?!

    And CreamFreud, -10 points for those hasty assumptions. I am actually objective enough to appreciate Bruckner's music, and I have listened to his symphonies and 'understood' them. I don't like Bruckner for shallow reasons, and even if I didn't, I'd pretend I do anyway, just to get reactions like yours. But you can 'learn' me any time.

    Ah my bad. Someone else told me about the three Bs thing and I didn't bother to check, in my pointless rage. Which means there is only one conclusion, fuck Bruckner AND Wagner. But yeah you got the Viennese sarcasm right, because that's where I'm from.

    One day when I bother, if that day ever comes, I'll learn you f*cktards how to appreciate BOTH Brahms and Bruckner. But I ain't the Messiah or anything, so don't expect that to happen anytime soon...The point is if you can't concentrate long enough to listen through a Bruckner symphony, you're probably too dumb to understand it anyway.

    Oh yes it is. At least it used to be. It was Wagner who proposed the three Bs include Bruckner rather than Brahms, but those three Bs have included so many different composers over the years that no one combination may be considered canonical. Brahms was much more hostile towards Bruckner's compositions in his writings (in his echt-Viennese sarcastic manner), the only composer from the Wagnerian camp he respected was Wagner himself.

    Since when is the humble Catholic a stereotype. You don't know many Catholics, do you. And just because others ridiculed him, doesn't mean he couldn't have done the same. What kind of argument is that. Yeah they may have grown to like each other, but that's just because they got old. Also, if Bruckner loved Brahms so much, then why did Anton want him removed from the three Bs. Yah, that's really respectful. So Brahms makes history, and Anton is all, "meh, Brahms ain't cool gimme some Wagner." No. Fuck Bruckner.
