Кіріспе
Антон Брукнердің симфониясы №4 ми-бемоль мажорда, WAB 104 – композитордың ең танымал туындыларының бірі. Ол 1874 жылы жазылып, 1888 жылға дейін бірнеше рет өңделген. Бұл симфония Хоэнлохе-Шиллингсфюрст князі Константинге арналған. 1881 жылы Венада Ханс Рихтер орындаған премьерасы зор табысқа ие болды. Симфонияның «Романтикалық» деген атауын композитордың өзі берген. Бұл, Рихард Вагнердің «Лохенгрин» және «Зигфрид» операларында бейнеленгендей, өнердегі романтизм қозғалысының шарықталу кезі болатын. Альберт Шпеердің сөзіне сүйенсек, симфония Берлин құлағанға дейін, 1945 жылғы 12 сәуірде өткен концертте орындалған. Шпеер осы симфонияны нацистердің соғыстың жеңіліске ұшырағанын білдіретін сигнал ретінде таңдаған.
Symphony by Anton Bruckner
Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, WAB 104, is one of the composer's most popular works. It was written in 1874 and revised several times through 1888. It was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenlohe Schillingsfürst. It was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna to great acclaim. The symphony's nickname of Romantic was used by the composer himself. This was at the height of the Romantic movement in the arts as depicted, amongst others, in the operas Lohengrin and Siegfried of Richard Wagner. According to Albert Speer, the symphony was performed before the fall of Berlin, in a concert on 12 April 1945. Speer chose the symphony as a signal that the Nazis were about to lose the war.

I нұсқасы (1874)
Брукнердің симфонияның түпнұсқа нұсқасы 1874 жылдың 2 қаңтары мен 22 қарашасы аралығында жазылған. 1975 жылы Леопольд Новак жасаған, Мус. Hs.6082 қолжазбасына негізделген басылым, Брукнердің автографына енгізген 1875 жылғы кейбір түзетулерді қамтиды. Бұл нұсқа композитордың өмірлік кезеңінде орындалмаған және жарияланбаған, алайда 1909 жылдың 12 желтоқсанында Линц қаласында Шерцосы орындалды. Толық алғашқы орындалу 1975 жылдың 20 қыркүйегінде Курт Весс басқарған Мюнхен филармониясымен Линцте өтті, бұл оның жазылғаннан кейін бір ғасырдан астам уақыттан соң болды. Алғашқы коммерциялық жазбасы 1982 жылдың қыркүйегінде Элияху Инбал жетекшілігімен Франкфурт радиосының симфониялық оркестрімен жасалды (CD 2564 61371 2).
Bruckner's original version of the symphony was composed between 2 January and 22 November 1874. The edition by Leopold Nowak in 1975, based on manuscript Mus. Hs.6082, includes some revisions from 1875 that Bruckner made in the autograph score. This version was never performed or published during the composer's lifetime, though the Scherzo was played in Linz on 12 December 1909. The first complete performance was given in Linz more than a century after its composition on 20 September 1975 by the Munich Philharmonic conducted by Kurt Wöss. The first commercial recording was made in September 1982 by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eliahu Inbal (CD 2564 61371 2).
1876 жылғы нұсқа
1876 жылы Брукнер автографтық партитураның көшірмесіне негізінен метрикалық түзетулер енгізді (қолжазба Мус. Hs.6032), осы түзетулерді жоспарланған орындауға партитура дайындаған кезде жасады, бірақ ол орындалу жоспары іске аспады. 2020 жылдың қараша айында Якуб Хруша Бамбергер симфониктерімен 1876 жылғы нұсқаны тұңғыш рет орындады, ал ол 2021 жылы fr баспасынан жарық көрді.
In 1876 Bruckner made some additional, mainly metrical adjustments, that he introduced in a copy of the autograph score (manuscript Mus. Hs.6032), when he prepared the score for a planned performance – which ultimately fell through. The 1876 variant, that has been premiered in November 2020 by Jakub Hrůša with the Bamberger Symphoniker, has been issued by fr in 2021.
IIА нұсқасы (1878)
Симфонияның түпнұсқа нұсқасын аяқтағаннан кейін Брукнер өзінің Бесінші симфониясын жазуға кірісті. Осы шығарманы аяқтаған соң, ол Төртінші симфонияға қайта оралды. 1878 жылдың 18 қаңтары мен 30 қыркүйегі аралығында ол алғашқы екі бөлімін мұқият қайта қарастырды және түпнұсқалық финалын "Халық мейрамы" (Volksfest) деп аталатын жаңа бөліммен алмастырды. 1878 жылдың желтоқсанында Брукнер түпнұсқалық Шерцоны толығымен жаңа қозғалыспен ауыстырды, оны кейде "Аң аулау" Шерцосы (Jagd Scherzo) деп атайды. Музыкалық сыншы Вильгельм Таппертке (1878 жылдың қазанында) жазған хатында Брукнер жаңа Шерцо "аң аулауды бейнелейді, ал Трио – аңшылар тамақ ішкенде ойналатын би әуені" екенін айтты. Трионың бастапқы атауы: Tanzweise während der Mahlzeit auf der Jagd ("Аңшылар тамақтану кезіндегі би әуені"). "Халық мейрамы" финалы Роберт Хаастың 1936 жылғы басылымына қосымша ретінде және Леопольд Новактың 1981 жылғы жеке басылымында жарияланды. Симфонияның толық 1878 жылғы нұсқасын алғаш рет 2014 жылы Уильям Карраган Герд Шалердің орындауына дайындап шығарды. Бенджамин Корстведт 2022 жылы 1878 жылғы нұсқаның сындық басылымын жариялады. Корстведтпен тығыз байланыста болған MusicaNova Phoenix, Аризона, 2022 жылдың 1 мамырында Симфонияның 1878 жылғы нұсқасының әлемдік премьерасын өткізді.
When he had completed the original version of the symphony, Bruckner turned to the composition of his Fifth Symphony. When he had completed that piece he resumed work on the Fourth. Between 18 January and 30 September 1878 he thoroughly revised the first two movements and replaced the original finale with a new movement entitled Volksfest ("Popular Festival"). In December 1878 Bruckner replaced the original Scherzo with a completely new movement, which is sometimes called the "Hunt" Scherzo (Jagd Scherzo). In a letter to the music critic Wilhelm Tappert (October 1878), Bruckner said that the new Scherzo "represents the hunt, whereas the Trio is a dance melody which is played to the hunters during their repast". The original title of the Trio reads: Tanzweise während der Mahlzeit auf der Jagd ("Dance melody during the hunters' meal"). The Volksfest finale was published as an appendix to Robert Haas's edition of 1936, and in a separate edition by Leopold Nowak in 1981. The complete 1878 version of the symphony has been first issued by William Carragan in 2014 for a foreseen performance by Gerd Schaller. A critical edition of the 1878 version has been issued by Benjamin Korstvedt in 2022. In close contact with Korstvedt, MusicaNova Phoenix, Arizona, has performed a world premiere of the 1878 version of the Symphony on 1 May 2022.
IIB нұсқасы (1880)
Бір жылға жуық уақыт өткеннен кейін (осы уақыт ішінде ол F мажордағы струнный квинтетті жазды), Брукнер өзінің Төртінші симфониясын қайта қолға алды. 1879 жылдың 19 қарашасы мен 1880 жылдың 5 маусымы аралығында ол жаңа финалды – үшіншісін жазды, бірақ ол тақырыптық материалдарының көп бөлігін алғашқы нұсқамен бөліседі және Volksfest финалын жойды. Осы нұсқа 1881 жылдың 20 ақпанында туындының премьерасында орындалды, бұл Брукнердің өзі дирижерлік етпеген Брукнер симфониясының тұңғыш премьерасы болды. Кейбір өзгерістер соңғысының алғашқы орындалуынан кейін енгізілді – оркестрлеуде көптеген өзгерістер, финалдағы 4 такт 12 тактпен алмастырылды, ал Андантеде 20 такт қысқартылды. Бұл өзгерістердің көп бөлігі Карраганның «Қызыл кітабында» сипатталған. Бұдан әрі, Брукнер финалдың даму бөлімінің соңы мен репризаның басталуын байланыстыратын бөлімді қайта өңдеді. 351–430 такттар, яғни дамудың соңындағы кезең, сондай-ақ бірінші мотивтің репризасы және екінші мотивтің бірінші бөлігі алынып тасталды және бірнеше жаңа тақтармен алмастырылды. Бұл қысқартылған нұсқа тұңғыш орындалу үшін пайдаланылды және Брукнер оны Төртінші симфония екінші рет орындалғанда қолдануды қатысты түрде сұрады. 1880 жылғы нұсқасы Роберт Хаас жасаған 1936 жылғы басылымда қолжетімді, ол Австрия Ұлттық кітапханасындағы Брукнердің қолжазбасына негізделген. Бенджамин Корстведт 1880 жылғы нұсқаның сындық басылымын 2019 жылы жариялады. Бенджамин Гуннар Кохрс 2021 жылы Антон Брукнердің Urtext Gesamtausgabe үшін тағы бір басылым шығарды – Феликс Мотльдың 1881 жылдың 10 желтоқсанында Карлсруэде орындаған қысқартылған финалмен бірге.
After the lapse of almost a year (during which he composed his String Quintet in F Major), Bruckner took up his Fourth Symphony once again. Between 19 November 1879 and 5 June 1880 he composed a new finale – the third, though it shares much of its thematic material with the first version – and discarded the Volksfest finale. This was the version performed at the work's premiere on 20 February 1881, which was the first premiere of a Bruckner symphony not to be conducted by Bruckner himself. Some changes made after the first performance of the latter – numerous changes in orchestration, a replacement of a 4 bar passage with a 12 bar passage in the Finale, and a 20 bar cut in the Andante. Most of these changes are described in Carragan's "Red Book". Moreover, Bruckner reworked the passage that bridges the end of the development section of the Finale and the beginning of the reprise. Bars 351–430, i. e. the transition at the end of the development as well as the reprise of the first motif and the first part of the second motif, were removed and replaced by a few bars new transition. This abbreviated version was used for the first performance and Bruckner specifically requested that it was used when the Fourth was played for a second time. The 1880 version is available in an edition by Robert Haas, which was published in 1936, based on Bruckner's manuscript in the Austrian National Library. A critical edition of the 1880 version has been issued by Benjamin Korstvedt in 2019. Another edition has been issued by Benjamin Gunnar Cohrs for the Anton Bruckner Urtext Gesamtausgabe in 2021 – with the abbreviated finale as it was performed by Felix Mottl on 10 December 1881 in Karlsruhe.
Малер реоркестрациясы
1895 жылы Густав Малер 1888 жылғы нұсқасын қысқартып, қайта оркестрледі. Бұл нұсқа Геннадий Рождественский мен Антон Нануттың жазбаларында қолжетімді.
In 1895 Gustav Mahler made an arrangement of the 1888 version which is heavily cut and reorchestrated. It is available in recordings by Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Anton Nanut.

Брукнердің төртінші симфониясы және "Брукнер проблемасы"
Брукнердің Төртінші симфониясын кез келген сын тұрғысынан қарастырғанда, «Брукнер проблемасы» деп аталатын мәселені ескеру қажет – яғни, оның симфонияларының әртүрлі нұсқаларының нақтылығы және авторлық құқығына қатысты дау. 1890 мен 1935 жылдар аралығында Төртінші симфонияға қатысты мұндай дау болған жоқ: Гутман басып шығарған 1888 жылғы нұсқасы күмәндан тыс болды. Британдық музыка зерттеушісі Дональд Тови симфонияны талдағанда басқа нұсқаны есімдерін тілге алмады, сондай-ақ швейцариялық теоретик Эрнст Курт та есімдерін тілге алмады. Гутманның нұсқасын сол заманғы көрнекті дирижерлер орындады: Малер, Вайнгартнер, Рихтер және Фишер.
Any critical appraisal of Bruckner's Fourth Symphony must take into account the so called Bruckner Problem – that is, the controversy surrounding the degrees of authenticity and authorial status of the different versions of his symphonies. Between 1890 and 1935 there was no such controversy as far as the Fourth was concerned: Gutmann's print of the symphony, the 1888 version, was unchallenged. British musicologist Donald Tovey's analysis of the symphony mentioned no other version, nor does the Swiss theorist Ernst Kurth. Gutmann's version was the one performed by the leading conductors of the day: Mahler, Weingartner, Richter and Fischer.
Новак
1938 жылы Австрияның Гитлер Германиясына қосылуымен Венадағы Музыкалық ғылыми баспа (MWV) және Халықаралық Брукнер қоғамы (IBG) таратылды, ал барлық күштер Лейпцигке ауыстырылды. 1945 жылы Лейпцигке жасалған бомбалау шабуылы кезінде баспахана қоры жойылды. Соғыстан кейін IBG, MWV және Брукнердің құжатталған туындылары Австрияға қайтарылды. 1951 жылы Леопольд Новак Альфред Орелдің Тоғызыншы симфониясының түзетілген басылымымен бірге «Neue Bruckner Gesamtausgabe» атты жинақтың бірінші томын ұсынды. Новак 1945 жылға дейін нота редакторы ретінде жұмыс істеген, жаңа дереккөздерді табумен және қателерді түзетумен айналысқан. Төртінші симфонияға қатысты Новак 1888 жылғы нұсқаның нақтылығына бірден сенбеді. Ол Брукнердің қол қоймағанын негізге ала отырып, «Stichvorlage» дәлелін қабылдамады. Сондай-ақ, ол 1887 жылғы нұсқаны дайындауда Брукнердің қатысы туралы күмән тудырған Хаас келтірген аргументтерді қайталады және қайта қарастырды. ХХ ғасырдың екінші жартысында көптеген зерттеушілер Хаас пен Новактың аргументтерін одан әрі зерттемей-ақ қабылдады. 1886 жылғы нұсқаның көшірмешінің нотасының табылуы Новактың ұзақ редакторлық қызметі кезінде (1951–1989 жж.) «Gesamtausgabe» жинағындағы жалғыз маңызды өзгеріс болды. Новак 1874 жылғы түпнұсқаның (1975), 1886 жылғы нұсқаның (1953) және 1878 жылғы нұсқаның «Volksfest» финалының (1981), сондай-ақ 1881 жылғы нұсқаның (1981) жаңа басылымдарын шығарды. Алайда Гутманның 1888 жылғы нұсқасының басылымы Новак үшін қанағаттандырмас болды. 1954 жылы, «Eulenburg» баспасы 1888 жылғы нұсқаның жаңа басылымын шығарған кезде симфонияға қатысты пікірлер қызығушылық тудырды. Редлихтің сөзіне сүйенсек, 1889 жылы түзетілген нұсқаның жариялануы көптеген зерттеушілердің болжағандай, Төртінші симфонияның ұзақ композиция және түзету процесінің аяқталуын білдірмеді, себебі 18 қаңтар 1890 жылы Брукнер симфонияның тағы бір нұсқасын жасай бастады: осы қарама-қайшылықты дәлелдердің арасындағы ең қызықты жайт – симфонияның «Endfassung» (соңғы нұсқасы) деп аталатын нұсқасы, Р. Хаасқа сәйкес, II және III нұсқаларды біріктіреді [яғни, негізінен 1880 жылғы нұсқаға ұқсас] және Венадағы Австрия Ұлттық кітапханасының HS 19476 қорында сақталған, «қайта қарастырылған нұсқадан» (яғни [жарияланған 1888 жылғы нұсқадан]) кейін жазылған сияқты көрінеді. Бұл оның бірінші бетінің факсимилесінен анық көрінеді [R. Haas, Anton Bruckner (Potsdam, 1934), 128 бетте IV пластинка ретінде жарияланған], оның басталу күні: Вена, 18 қаңтар 1890 жыл. Осы қолжаздық нотада және оның күнінде Брукнердің 1889 жылғы жарияланған нотаға қарсы үнсіз наразылығын көруге болады. Редлих бұл аргументті Брукнердің стиліне жат деп санайтын бірнеше түзетулердің нақтылығына күмән келтіре отырып, нығайтты. Олардың ішінде финалдың 76-шы тақтысындағы пикколо мен сымбалдардың енгізілуі; финалдың 473-ші тақтысындағы сымбалдардың қолданылуы; финалдың 147-ші тақтысындағы өшірілген мүйіздердің қолданылуы және 155-ші тақтыдағы аперто командасының алынып тасталуы жатады. 1969 жылы Деррик Кук өзінің «Брукнер проблемасы жеңілдетілді» атты мақалалар сериясында осы аргументтерді қайталап, Брукнердің «баспаға жіберілген көшірмеге қол қоюдан бас тартып, соңғы бекітуін бермегенін» айтты. Кук 1888 жылғы нұсқаны «толыққанды жалған Лёве/Шалк нотасы» деп атады және Редлих алғаш назар аударған 1890 жылғы қолжазбаның бар екендігі 1881 жылдан кейін жасалған барлық түзетулерді жоққа шығарады деген қорытындыға келді.
With the Anschluss of Austria to Hitler's Germany in 1938, the Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag Wien (MWV) and the Internationale Bruckner Gesellschaft (IBG) in Vienna had been dissolved, and all efforts had been transferred to Leipzig. In 1945, late into a bomb attack on Leipzig, the publishing stock was destroyed. After the war, the IBG, the MWV, and Bruckner's documented output returned to Austria. In 1951 Leopold Nowak presented the first volume of the Neue Bruckner Gesamtausgabe with a corrected reprint of Alfred Orel's edition of the Ninth Symphony. Nowak had already served in score editing capacities before 1945, had worked on discovering new sources, and had corrected errors. About the Fourth Symphony, Nowak was not immediately convinced that the 1888 version was authentic. He rejected the evidence of the Stichvorlage on the grounds that Bruckner had not signed it. He also repeated, and revised, arguments Haas had invoked to cast doubt on Bruckner's involvement in the preparation of the 1887 version. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century most commentators accepted Haas's and Nowak's arguments without taking the trouble to investigate the matter any further. The rediscovery of the copyist's score of the 1886 version was the only significant change to the Gesamtausgabe during Nowak's long editorship (1951–1989). Nowak issued critical editions of the original 1874 version (1975), the 1886 version (1953) and the Volksfest finale of the 1878 version (1981), as well as a new edition of the 1881 version (1981). Gutmann's print of the 1888 version, however, remained beyond the pale as far as Nowak was concerned. Critical appreciation of the symphony took an interesting turn in 1954, when Eulenburg issued a new edition of the 1888 version by the German born British musicologist Hans F. Redlich. According to Redlich, the publication of the revised version in 1889 did not mark the end of the Fourth Symphony's long process of composition and revision, as most commentators had assumed, for on 18 January 1890 Bruckner supposedly began to indite yet another version of the symphony:
The strangest feature in this tangle of conflicting evidence is the fact that the so called Endfassung (final version) of the symphony which – according to R. Haas – combined versions II and III [i. e. essentially the same as the 1880 version] and is embodied in HS 19476 of the Nat. Bibl. Vienna Austrian National Library, seems to have been put on paper after the issue of the "revised version" (i. e [the published 1888 version]). This emerges clearly from the Facsimile of its first page [published as Plate IV in R. Haas, Anton Bruckner (Potsdam, 1934), p. 128], which bears the date of its commencement: Vienna January 18, 1890. It is possible to see in this MS score as well as in its date a silent protest of Bruckner's against the published score of 1889. Redlich buttressed this argument by questioning the authenticity of a number of emendations to the score which he considered alien to Bruckner's native style. Among these, the following may be noted: the introduction of piccolo and cymbals in bar 76 of the finale; the use of cymbals in bar 473 of the finale; and the use of muted horns in bar 147 of the finale, the aperto command for which is omitted in bar 155. In 1969 Deryck Cooke repeated these arguments in his influential series of articles The Bruckner Problem Simplified, going so far as to claim that Bruckner "withheld his ultimate sanction by refusing to sign the copy sent to the printer". Cooke, who referred to the 1888 version as the "completely spurious Löwe/Schalk score", concluded that the existence of the alleged manuscript of 1890 to which Redlich had first drawn attention effectively annulled all revisions made after 1881.

Haas, Anton Bruckner (Potsdam, 1934), p. 128], which bears the date of its commencement: Vienna January 18, 1890. It is possible to see in this MS score as well as in its date a silent protest of Bruckner's against the published score of 1889. Redlich buttressed this argument by questioning the authenticity of a number of emendations to the score which he considered alien to Bruckner's native style. Among these, the following may be noted: the introduction of piccolo and cymbals in bar 76 of the finale; the use of cymbals in bar 473 of the finale; and the use of muted horns in bar 147 of the finale, the aperto command for which is omitted in bar 155. In 1969 Deryck Cooke repeated these arguments in his influential series of articles The Bruckner Problem Simplified, going so far as to claim that Bruckner "withheld his ultimate sanction by refusing to sign the copy sent to the printer". Cooke, who referred to the 1888 version as the "completely spurious Löwe/Schalk score", concluded that the existence of the alleged manuscript of 1890 to which Redlich had first drawn attention effectively annulled all revisions made after 1881.
Корстведт
1996 жылы америкалық музыкатанушы Фр төртінші симфонияға қатысты сын пікірін түбінен өзгертіп жіберді. Ол Редлих пен Куктың сілтеме жасайтын қолжазбаның шындығында жоқ екенін көрсетті: «Егер Брукнер мұндай көшірме жасаған болса, Куктың талабы қарастырылуға лайық болар еді. Бірақ Брукнер ешқашан мұндай іс жасаған жоқ. Редлих пен Кук Хаас жазған Брукнердің өмірбаянындағы суреттен жаңылысқан. Бұл суретте Брукнердің екінші нұсқасының автографының бірінші беті көрсетілген, ол 18 қаңтар 1878 жылғы күнді көрсетуі керек еді, бірақ Хаас айтқандай, 18 қаңтар 1890 жыл деп оқылады». Корстведт сондай-ақ Хаас қайта-қайта айтқан, Брукнердің өзіне сенімсіз, өзінің қабілетіне күмәнданып, өнерлік талғамын бұзатын жеңілдіктерге дайын композитор болғандығы туралы пікірді жоққа шығарды. Композитор туралы мұндай бағаны растайтын ешқандай дәлел табылмады. Керісінше, Брукнердің өзінің әріптестерінен алынған куәліктерде оны өз пікіріне қайшы түзетулерге көндірудің мүмкін емес екендігі айтылады. Корстведт пікірінше, 1888 жылғы нұсқаны дайындау Брукнер, Лёве және, мүмкін, Франц пен Йозеф Шалктардың бірлескен еңбегі болғанымен, бұл оның авторлық мәртебесін ешқандай жағдайда төмендетпейді. Бұл Брукнердің төртінші симфониясы туралы соңғы ойларын көрсетеді және оны нағыз Endfassung немесе Fassung letzter Hand деп санау керек. Брукнердің «Stichvorlage» келісімін «қабылдамағанына» ешқандай дәлел жоқ. Ол мұны істемеген болуы мүмкін, бірақ осыған ұқсас жағдай басқа Брукнердің қолжазбаларында да кездеседі, олардың түпнұсқалығы күмәнсіз. Сонымен қатар, Хаас айтқандай, Брукнерді жұмысты жариялау үшін түзетулерді қабылдауға мәжбүрлегеніне нақты дәлел жоқ. Гутман жариялану алдында тек бір ғана талап қойды – оған 1000 фл. шығындарын өтеу үшін алдын ала төленуі керек еді. Осы ақшаны алғаннан кейін, Брукнер жіберген симфонияның кез келген нұсқасын басып шығаруға қуанышты болар еді. 2004 жылы Корстведт симфонияның 1888 жылғы нұсқасының алғашқы қазіргі заманғы басылымын Gesamtausgabe үшін шығарды. 2019 жылы Корстведт 1881 жылғы нұсқаның, 2021 жылы бірінші нұсқаның 1876 жылғы вариантын, ал 2022 жылы 1878 жылғы нұсқасын жариялады.
In 1996, however, critical opinion of the Fourth Symphony was turned on its head by the American musicologist fr, who demonstrated that the manuscript referred to by Redlich and Cooke does not in fact exist: "Were it true that Bruckner made such a copy, Cooke's claim would merit consideration. But Bruckner never did. Redlich and Cooke were misled by a photograph in Haas's biography of Bruckner. This photograph, which shows the first page of Bruckner's autograph score of the second version, is cropped in such a way that the date 18. Jänner 1878 – which is mentioned by Haas – seems to read 18 Jänner 1890". Korstvedt has also refuted Haas's oft repeated argument that Bruckner was a diffident composer who lacked faith in his own ability and was willing to make concessions that contravened his own artistic judgement. No evidence has been adduced in support of this assessment of the composer. On the contrary, there are first hand accounts from Bruckner's own associates that it was impossible to persuade him to accept emendations against his own better judgement. It is Korstvedt's contention that while the preparation of the 1888 version was indeed a collaborative effort between Bruckner, Löwe, and probably also Franz and Joseph Schalk, this in no way undermines its authorial status; it still represents Bruckner's final thoughts on his Fourth Symphony and should be regarded as the true Endfassung or Fassung letzter Hand. There is no evidence that Bruckner "refused" to sign the Stichvorlage. He may have omitted to do so, but this is also true of other Bruckner manuscripts whose authenticity is not doubted. Furthermore, there is no real evidence that Bruckner was forced to accept revisions in order to get the work published, as Haas claimed. The only condition that Gutmann made prior to publication was that he be paid 1,000 fl. in advance to cover his costs. Once this money was delivered to him, he would have been quite happy, presumably, to print whatever version of the symphony Bruckner sent him. In 2004 Korstvedt issued the first modern edition of the 1888 version of the symphony for the Gesamtausgabe. In 2019 Korstvedt issued a modern edition of the 1881 version, in 2021 an edition of the 1876 variant of the first version, and in 2022 the 1878 version.

Жазбалар
Симфонияның бір бөлігін алғаш рет коммерциялық түрде 1888 жылғы нұсқадағы скерцо жазды, оны 1929 жылы Вена филармониясымен бірге Клеменс Краус жазды. Бүкіл симфонияның алғашқы коммерциялық жазбасын Карл Бём 1936 жылы Дрезден штаткапеллесімен бірге Хаас/1881 нұсқасында жасады. Ең көп жазылатын нұсқалар – 1880 жылғы Haas және Nowak редакциялары (жоғарыдағы тізімде 1881 және 1886 жылғы нұсқалар деп аталады). Егер жазбада нақты көрсетілмесе, кез келген заманауи жазба осы нұсқалардың бірі деп сенімді түрде айтуға болады, ал ертедегі LP және CD ремастерингтері көбінесе Фердинанд Лёвтің 1888 жылғы редакциясына жатады (мысалы, Вильгельм Фуртвенглер мен Ханс Кнапертсбуштің жазбалары). 1874 жылғы түпнұсқа нұсқаны алғаш рет Курт Весс Мюнхен филармониясымен бірге 1975 жылдың 20 қыркүйегінде тікелей эфирде жазды. 1874 жылғы нұсқаның алғашқы студиялық жазбасын Элияху Инбал Франкфурт радиосы симфониясымен бірге жасады. 1878 жылғы нұсқаның алғашқы жазбасын Уоррен Коэн МузикаНова оркестрімен бірге 2022 жылдың 1 мамырында тікелей эфирде орындады.
The first commercial recording of part of the symphony was of the scherzo from the 1888 version, made by Clemens Krauss with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1929. The first commercial recording of the entire symphony was made by Karl Böhm with the Staatskapelle Dresden in 1936, in the Haas/1881 version. The versions most often recorded are the Haas and Nowak editions of the 1880 score (referred to as the 1881 and 1886 versions in the list above). Any modern recording that does not specify this can be safely assumed to be one of these versions, while early LPs and CD remasterings of old recordings are usually of Ferdinand Löwe's 1888 edition (for example, those by Wilhelm Furtwängler and Hans Knappertsbusch). The first recording of the original 1874 version was by Kurt Wöss with the Munich Philharmonic – a live performance on 20 September 1975. The first studio recording of the 1874 version was by Eliahu Inbal with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony. The first recording of the 1878 version was by Warren Cohen with the MusicaNova Orchestra – a live performance on 1 May 2022.
