Symphony No. 3 in D Minor
The Symphony No. 3 exists in several versions. The first version of the score was completed in 1873 and was published in an edition by Leopold Nowak. William Carragan also prepared a performing variant of 1874. In 1876, Bruckner composed a "Second Adagio" which was published by the Bruckner Edition. The full score was revised again in 1877 - that version was prepared by Nowak and includes a coda to the Scherzo. This version was published earlier by Fritz Oeser, but his version shows the symphony as it existed in 1878 when Bruckner had removed the Scherzo coda. The symphony was revised again by Bruckner in 1889. Haas' edition was never published since the printing plates were lost in the War. Leopold Nowak's edition is the one used for this version. The first published edition was prepared in 1890 by Theodore Raettig. It most closely follows Nowak's 1889 edition.
