Bruckner Symphony No. It's doubtful that there ever was a former score of this symphony, as it was believed. First edition , Universal by J. First played on October 12, in Klosterneuburg under Franz Moissl. Critical edition by Nowak Symphony no. Original version , composed in Linz between May and April First performance in Linz on May 9, , conducted by Bruckner. Haas didn't publish a score of it but provided a description. A complete reconstruction was prepared by William Carragan in It is the result of a rhythmic revision made in , but includes perhaps some slight changes made as far as This is the version commonly performed.

The Haas and Nowak editions of this version have no significant differences. First performed in Vienna on December 13, by Hans Richter. The modern critical edition of this version is by G. Brosche Critical edition by William Carragan for the Bruckner Society. There were many changes in this revision. The order of the inner movements was reversed; in the Adagio, the horn solo at the end was changed to a clarinet solo and a violin solo was added.

The repeats were canceled in the Scherzo and Trio, a passage in the Finale was completely rewritten, and a fourth trombone was added in the final few bars to reinforce the bass line.

Critical version by William Carragan still unpublished. O under Bruckner. There weren't many changes this time. In the Finale, some material from the version, cut in , was restored, the new passage added in was shortened, the fourth trombone was removed from the final bars and, instead, unison strings were introduced at the very end. Compared to the version, there is a cut in the first movement although this cut might have been made in There was also a cut made in the Adagio, and the violin solo was removed.

The Scherzo was modified slightly, with some bars being repeated at the end of the Scherzo and its reprise.

In the Finale, the new passage which was shortened in was removed and replaced with yet another passage. The final few bars were changed again, mainly in the trumpet parts.

And the last few bars of the first movement were stretched out a bit. Neither Haas nor Nowak editions represent pure versions. Contrary to what is still commonly said, Haas doesn't present the original version, but is based primarily on the version, with some elements of the version. The Nowak edition is actually a close approximation to the version as long as the cuts are observed and an error in the trumpet parts at the end of the first movement is fixed.

The new definitive edition by William Carragan removes from the Nowak edition the anomalies that had remained from Haas. The final consequence, however, was not artistic paralysis, but a manic need to re-write, not only the Eighth, but his first five numbered symphonies, which were substantially revised between and Finally, at the behest of the conductor Franz Schalk, the composer overhauled both the slow movement and the finale. The conductor was yet another eminent Wagnerian, Hans Richter; the orchestra was the Vienna Philharmonic, playing in the Musikverein, its home to this day.

The Eighth, like its predecessor, was a success. Portions of the music even won a kind of grudging approval from the waspish critic Eduard Hanslick. For Bruckner, the concert was certainly a triumph.
