Anton Bruckner´s Students

In the course of many decades as a teacher Anton Bruckner taught hundreds of pupils and students, in schools, at the Conservatory and the University of Vienna , and also privately.

The two-day symposium is dedicated to this important aspect of his work, and shows how far Bruckner's influence reached in this way after his death. The lectures of the internationally renowned speakers illuminate the relationship between teachers and their pupils in the 19th century and present one of the most important teachers for the young Bruckner, Johann Baptist Weiß (1813–1850). There will be a broader look at Bruckner's pupils, an analysis of the light this casts on our picture of Bruckner and a closer look at the students from eastern and southern Europe. Special attention will then be paid to the lives and works of a handful of individuals, including Franz Marschner (1855–1932),  Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden (1857–1944), born in Linz, Friedrich Eckstein (1861–1939), Hermann Haböck (1869–1946), Ernst Décsey (1870–1941), the almost-forgotten operetta composer Karl Kapeller (1859–1934), Heinrich Reinhardt (1865–1922), Leo Held (1874–1903) and Leopold Welleba (1878–1953).

Also included is a look at second-generation students (pupils of pupils)
