BR63-L
This work, dedicated to Richard Wagner, the 'Master of all Masters', has a special place among the symphonies in that it exists in three differing autograph scores and two differing printed editions (1878 & 1890). The original version has come down to us in two copies, the one now belonging to the Austrian National Library (Bruckner's own copy), and the other to the Richard Wagner Archive in Bayreuth. with its 2, No. 065 bars, this first version is Bruckner's longest symphony.
