Adolph Bernhard Marx composed his three-part oratorio Moses for soloists, chorus, and full orchestra not for a religious service but for performance in the concert hall and drew on the Books of Moses and other parts of the Old Testament to write his libretto for it. Moses celebrated its premiere in Breslau in 1841, and no doubt about it: this contentious work had a polarizing effect and sparked a fundamental debate in the music press about the genre of the 'oratorio' when it was less a sacred work and more a music drama.

Anton Bruckner embarked on his studies with the Linz-based Kapellmeister Otto Kitzler in the fall of 1861 and it was Kitzler who put him in touch with the music of Franz Liszt, Hector Berlioz, and Richard Wagner. In their lessons, they drew on Ernst Friedrich Richter’s primer Formenlehre but also the rather forward-looking textbook of Adolph Bernhard Marx’ and Johann Christian Lobe’s, which familiarized Bruckner with modern instrumentation that went well beyond the style of Viennese classicism.
