Discussió:Simfonia en re menor (Bruckner)
Simfonia núm. 0 (Bruckner) → Simfonia in re menor (Bruckner)
[modifica]As in the other Wikipedia (English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese), I changed the name of the page for consistency with Anton Bruckner's Critical Complete Edition, Anton Bruckner's discography, IMSLP and inter-wiki consistency.
- Bruckner never gave this symphony a number, but long after its composition declared that it "gilt nicht" ("doesn't count") and on one copy of the score he put in an empty set symbol (∅). This symbol was later interpreted as a numeral zero. The official name of the smphony is "Symphony in D minor" (German: "Symphonie d-Moll"). "No. 0" or "Die Nullte" (German) are nicknames. See, e.g., Anton Bruckner's Critical Complete Edition or Anton Bruckner's discography. Moreover, "No. 0" is chronologically not correct, because it was composed in 1869 between Symphony No. 1 (1866) and Symphony No. 2 (1872). See also the List of compositions by Anton Bruckner, of which I was one ot the main contributors, and the List of works by Anton Bruckner on IMSLP.
- NB: The same problem exists also for the "Symphony in F minor", of which "No. 00" is also a nickname (see Anton Bruckner's Critical Complete Edition or Anton Bruckner's discography), based on the false belief that this symphony was composed before the (so-called) "Symphony No. 0". Actually it was composed before Symphony No. 1...
