1. Anton Bruckner (Britannica).
Excerpt: Anton Bruckner, in full Josef Anton Bruckner, (born Sept. 4, 1824, Ansfelden, Austria—died Oct. 11, 1896, Vienna), Austrian composer of a number of highly original and monumental symphonies. He was also an organist and teacher who composed much sacred and secular choral music.(Submitted on December 12, 2022.)
2. Anton Bruckner (Wikipedia).
Excerpt on his time in this period: Prelate Michael Arneth noticed Bruckner's bad situation in Windhaag and awarded him a teacher's assistant position in the vicinity of the monastic town of Sankt Florian, sending him to Kronstorf an der Enns for two years. Here he would be able to have more of a part in musical(Submitted on December 12, 2022.)activity. The time in Kronstorf was a much happier one for Bruckner. Between 1843 and 1845, Bruckner was the pupil of Leopold von Zenetti in Enns. Compared to the few works he wrote in Windhaag, the Kronstorf compositions from 1843 to 1845 show a significantly improved artistic ability, and finally the beginnings of what could be called "the Bruckner style". Among the Kronstorf works is the vocal piece Asperges me (WAB 4), which the young teacher's assistant, out of line given his position, signed with "Anton Bruckner m.p.ria. Comp[onist]". This has been interpreted as a lone early sign of Bruckner's artistic ambitions. Otherwise, little is known of Bruckner's life plans and intentions.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, November 14, 20222. Anton Bruckner Marker - wide view
3. Leopold von Zenetti (Wikipedia).
Excerpt on his influence on Bruckner: Anton Bruckner was born near Enns and worked in Kronstorf and St Florian. Between 1843 and 1845, he was the pupil of Leopold von Zenetti in Enns. He visited his master up to three times a week to study figured bass using The Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bruckner continued to work with Zenetti until 1855. Zenetti's music library was of considerable interest to Bruckner. Zenetti taught him the music of the First Viennese School as well as that of the emerging Romantic style.(Submitted on December 12, 2022.)
