In 2013 the Austrian National Library was able to acquire a valuable original manuscript
hitherto unavailable to the public. The substantial volume contains composition
studies made by Bruckner in the years 1861 through 1863 with the Linz
capellmeister Otto Kitzler, as well as complete compositions, e. g. the string quartet,
Three Pieces for Orchestra, the Overture in G minor. The high-resolution four-color
print renders even the smallest markings and corrections legible and gives this edition
not only collectors’ value, but also makes it an important source for study and
scholarship.
