Something wrong?An Austrian organist who built symphonies so long, so harmonically strange, and so structurally radical that critics called them formless - yet he revised them obsessively, doubted himself constantly, and deferred to Wagner like a schoolboy.

Born 4 September 1824, Bruckner came up as an organist before turning to composition, where his symphonies and sacred music - Masses, Te Deum, motets - pushed Austro-German Romanticism to its outer edge through dissonance, unprepared modulations, and polyphonic density. The gap between his harmonic radicalism and his personal humility baffled contemporaries; Hans von Bülow called him "half genius, half simpleton." Critic Eduard Hanslick and the Brahms camp attacked the works' scale and repetition, and Bruckner himself kept reworking them, often with colleagues' help, leaving multiple versions in doubt. Gustav Mahler and later composers saw past the revisions. Bruckner died 11 October 1896, his symphonies now considered emblematic of Romanticism's final, most harmonically ambitious hour.
