More on Symphony No. 6
Description from Wikipedia:
Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 6 in A major (WAB 106) was completed in 1881, and revised in preparation for publication around 1894. The symphony was dedicated to Bruckner's landlords Dr. and Mrs. Anton von Oelzelt-Newein and is occasionally nicknamed The Philosophical or The Philosophic, although this nickname was not given by the composer. Bruckner did remark that "die Sechste ist die Keckste" (the Sixth is the sauciest).
The middle two movements were premiered in 1883 by Wilhelm Jahn with the Vienna Philharmonic. All four movements were first performed in a heavily-cut version by Gustav Mahler in 1899, after the composer's death. Bruckner's original four movements were premiered by Karl Pohlig in Stuttgart in 1901.
