In the course of Bruckner's revisions for the 2nd version, the Finale of the Fourth was subjected to substantial cuts and considerable simplification in respect of motivic development; in 1880 Bruckner replaced the 1878 movement, entitled 'Volksfest' (literally: 'people's festival'; a public jollification such as a 'Jahrmarkt' or funfair), with a newly composed Finale.
