It was not until 101 years after Bruckner first committed his Fourth Symphony to paper that the work was published in its first version, by Leopold Nowak in 1975; it had its first hearing in the same year, in a performance in Linz by the Munich Philharmonic under Kurt Wöss. The Scherzo is a movement which only exists in this version. It is highly interesting to compare the final movement with the later fundamentally reworked version.

Instrumentation: 2,2,2,2-4,3,3,0-Timp-Str
