More DescriptionDespite signficant advances in Bruckner scholarship, many problems persist. Research into the manuscripts and editions has emphasised an increasing plurality of texts, but the consequences for interpretation and analysis have not been extensively explored. Similarly, although the relationship between Bruckner's music, post-Wagnerian ideology and ultimately Nazism has been carefully reconstructed, questions of how such matters should condition our responses to the music remain unaddressed. This important new study isolates problematic issues of interpretation, analysis, reception, and historical location, and offers potential solutions through case studies of individual works.
