Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major (Original version). Full Score

The nine symphonies composed by Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) are landmarks of the Austro-Germanic symphonic tradition. These staples of the orchestral literature possess a grandeur, nobility of vision. and originality that have survived over the years, despite much revision and unauthorized editing by other musicians. Moreover, the original versions of these works reveal a logical organization far greater than had at first been realized.
The Symphony No.5, one of Bruckner's finest orchestral works, was composed in the late 1870s, but was not performed until April of 1894. Like the best of his earlier works, it features strikingly original harmonies, an extended structure and tonal range, and a gripping, monumental sonority.
With the complete restoration of the composer's original design-based on the authoritative autograph score-musicians and music lovers the world over can now study the music as originally conceived.
