The Symphony nº 0 in minor D , WAB 99, of Anton Bruckner, is one of its Symphonie S of youth, made up in 1869.

It is in fact the troisème symphony of the type-setter, after the Symphonie of studies and the First Symphony . Its classification comes owing to the fact that Bruckner drew aside it or it cancelled (), which gave him the nickname ( Zéroïème Symphony ). The Symphonie of studies accepted after its death number 00.

Little played, like its other early works, it however lets hear the premises of the great symphonies which it will compose as from the years 1870, and indicates an undeniable control of the romantic style. It is into four movement S:

Allegro
Andante
Scherzo: Presto - Trio: Final Langsamer und ruhiger
: Moderato - Allegro long-lived

History

Composition

The symphony was made up of the January 24th to the September 12th 1869, which makes the third of Bruckner of it after the Symphonie of studies in minor F and the Symphonie nº 1 in minor C ; the manuscript carries the title of Symphonie nº 2 .

Bruckner, which of was installed with Vienna with the autumn 1868, lived one relatively happy period, with a round in Nancy and Paris as an organist. It interromp in April for a round with Nancy and Paris, at the time of which he makes appreciate his talents of organist. After having continued its work until July, it mid-August completes it mid-September with Linz, where it is on vacation.

According to the indications of Bruckner to its biographer August Möllerich, the first grinding had been made up of October 1863 at May 1864, i.e. before the Pemière Symphonie . However, the specialists in Bruckner doubt today strongly that this first drafting took place, and no manuscript was found by it.

Eager to make play its new work, it presents it to the leader of the Court, Otto Dessoff, which starts to read the first movement and is astonished: where is the main theme? Bruckner, always not very sure of him and extremely sensitive to criticism, is discouraged and withdraws work.

According to the musicologist Benjamin Gunnar Cohrs, the symphony is revised between October 1887 as soon as possible and April 1891 at the latest.

In 1895, one year before its death, whereas it destroyed work of youth, Bruckner comments in several places in the partition: Not valid , Only one test , To reject . On the title page, it notes: ( Cancelled ), raye it 2 - for a long time allotted, of the remainder, with another symphony - and one adds 0 . What the old Master arrived at glory notes allots to a work youth, or chronological indication? The first of its three symphonies in minor D will in any case carry this number and the nickname of, which did not do anything to improve its reputation.
