Symphony No. 9 in D minor
If one includes the F-minor study symphony dating from 1863, and the Symphony No. “0” dating from 1869, then Anton Bruckner composed a total of 11 symphonies. However, Bruckner weeded out both early works from his definite canon of symphonies, and therefore the symphony which received the conclusive number of 9 was also most emphatically his “Ninth”. His “farewell” work. Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 is a summary of this “work-in-progress” strategy, yet simultaneously it is also a preview of what would have been – not only had he completed the Finale, but also had he composed a tenth symphony. Bruckner had never written so modern a work as his Symphony No. 9, no other composition of his plunges harmonically so deep into the 20th century. Bruckner had never been so innovative as in the beginning of the first movement, the resolution of which surpasses even his own symphonic model.
