Joseph Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden, Upper Austria, on 4 September 1824 and died in Vienna on 11 October 1896.

The Bruckner symphonies are nine in number, and they have different characteristics within the confines of their immense but by no means entirely cohesive structures. The music is prevailingly Wagnerian in texture, and also powerfully impregnated with the spirit of the German chorale. Because of their musical and spiritual essence they are precious.
