Bruckner 9

Symphony No. 9 is the final symphony by Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, begun in 1887 and left unfinished at his death in 1896. Representative of his late-Romantic idiom, the work features expansive orchestration, dense counterpoint and a broad harmonic palette and occupies a distinct place in his output as his last large-scale symphonic statement that has prompted various completion efforts and discussion in music history.
