New Publication Series in Bruckner Research

WIENER BRUCKNER-STUDIEN / VIENNA BRUCKNER STUDIES
edited by
Renate Grasberger, Gernot Gruber, Uwe Harten,
Paul Hawkshaw, Elisabeth Maier and Erich Wolfgang Partsch

The new series “Vienna Bruckner Studies” is a wide thematic forum for Bruckner scholars, students, enthusiasts and music lovers. The authors are internationally renowned Bruckner experts as well as scholars from other fields. Apart from the local/biographical emphasis on Vienna, the new series will contain works of reference, studies of works and reception as well as monographies.

The first volume, “Anton Bruckner’s Vienna Years”, focuses on the local aspect and covers a large spectrum: details on Bruckner’s biography and personal environment, analytical essays, questions of reception and not least texts from the vantage point of neighboring disciplines. This mosaic-like exploration of diverse aspects of Bruckner’s time in Vienna should contribute to a deepened understanding of the conditions of his life and creative work and should give impulses for further research.

Frequency of publication: yearly

The following volumes are in preparation or in planning stage:

Elisabeth Maier (with Renate Grasberger): The Bruckner Inventory of the St Florian Monastery. A commented Catalogue

Elisabeth Maier: «Années de Pélerinage». Unknown Documents regarding August Göllerich’s Studies with Anton Bruckner and Franz Liszt

Bruckner Lexicon (2 vols.)

Bruckner between Bronze Bust and Silhouette. Iconographic Interpretations

Bruckner Reception in the Arts

The series is to be continued.

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.
