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.
