Musicology Annotation << Back Anton Bruckner’s Quintett F-dur, its genre identification and architectonics of musical design Vladimir P. Konnov Quintet F-dur (WAB 112) is the most important and large-scaled opus created by Bruckner for instrumental ensemble. Some scholars set them off against Bruckner’s symphonic legacy but in this article it is considered in context of the composer’s creative life as a concealed symphony (after the first and authoritative Bruckner’s biographer Max Auer). The dramatic conception and formal structure of this work were analysed from the point of view of Bruckner’s idea of “musical architecture”. It is also very important that it was the fi rst opus where Bruckner began to arrange the parts of the texture free from his early methods of organ registeration and improvisation. Keywords: Thematic content and formal design, musical form as a static architecture, three-part sonata exposition, Bruckner’s orchestration, practice of organ improvisation and registration.
