Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)
Bio
Bruckner was born in Ansfelden, Austria, and studied music at a young age. He taught in St Florian's monastery before becoming the organist at Linz. He then moved to Vienna, studied composition, and became faculty at the Vienna Conservatory. He adored Wagner and patterned much of sound after him. Bruckner's compositions are considered radical and were divisive during his lifetime. Along with Wagner, Bruckner was also friends with Gustav Mahler, who called him his "forerunner" after studying under him in Vienna.
