Membership of the Hofmusikkapelle was a notable distinction which had a decisive influence on a musician's social status. Bruckner applied for membership for many years before Hofkapellmeister Herbeck used his influence in his favour. The relevant documents, collected here in one book for the first time, show, inter alia, that the most disturbing aspect of Bruckner's fate was not any lack of understanding or malice on the part of his contemporaries; on the contrary, Bruckner's desire to be liked and to elicit acts of kindness from others tragically led him to adopt modes of behaviour which were successful in the short term, but ultimately caused his fellows to keep him at arm's length.

As Anton Bruckner's letters are to a very large extent concerned with the fate of his works, the few genuinely private autograph sources are particularly significant for the insights they allow us into his personality. These are the notebooks he used from his time in Linz until his death, of which twenty-two have survived.
These documents, some privately owned and hitherto inaccessible to scholars, are published here in their entirety for the first time. The first volume contains fulsomely annotated transcriptions of all the pages, and a comprehensive appendix with notes on all the individuals mentioned by Bruckner; the second volume contains reproductions of all the pages with written entries.

ANTON BRUCKNER ALS LINZER DOM- UND STADTPFARRORGANIST. Aspekte einer Berufung [Anton Bruckner as organist of the cathedral and city parish church in Linz: Aspects of a vocation]with an essay by Ikarus Kaiser: ‘Der Dom- und Stadtpfarrkapellmeister Karl Borromäus Waldeck und die Orgel der Stadtpfarrkirche in Linz’[Karl Borromäus Waldeck, Kapellmeister of the cathedral and city parish, and the organ of the city parish church in Linz]

The period 1855–68 saw Anton Bruckner make a number of critical decisions. He left the monastic and rural world for the secular milieu of the city, he gave up schoolteaching to become a professional musician, and he developed from an organist and composer of church music into a symphonist. In crossing these borders, he was uncompromisingly following the dictates of his inborn creative gift, which was increasingly making composition into his ‘chief life-task’. This book provides the most comprehensive possible documentation of the sources (many hitherto unpublished) relating to this decisive phase in Bruckner’s life, and considers them as evidence for his artistic development. Archival vestiges of complicated bureaucratic procedures, letters, and newspaper articles combine to form a fascinating and moving portrait of a great vocation in the making.
