The genesis of the “Nullified” Symphony shows us many facets of Bruckner’s personality and character: when it was composed in Vienna in 1869, the 45-year-old Bruckner was already internationally famous as an organist. As a church musician he is generally acknowledged after three masses. But suddenly an unexpected new goal in life opens up for him: Bruckner decides to become a symphonist, “since this is my true purpose in life!” He has business cards printed: “Anton Bruckner. Symphonist”. As is well known, the compositional genre of the symphony was relegated to the background after the “colossus” of Beethoven’s IXth Symphony. Only Brahms, Schumann and Mendelssohn devoted themselves to it. Opera and programme music dominate contemporary events. Bruckner thus abandons two successful and materially stable careers to pursue an almost impossible goal: To awaken the compositional genre of the symphony from its “Sleeping Beauty slumber” and to help it regain a position equal to that of opera – and to expand it to an almost operatic large-scale format.
