³ The work’s date has provoked debate. Paul Hawkshaw maintains that it dates from 1869, a view corroborated by numerous features of the sources and the composers letters; see ‘The Date of Bruckner’s “Nullified” Symphony in D minor’, 19 ^th -Century Music 6/3 (1983): 252–63. The alternative view holds that work on the Symphony dates from 1863–64, after the F minor Symphony, but before the Symphony No. 1, which dates from 1866. This view was held by August Göllerich, Max Auer, Leopold Nowak and Renate Grasberger, all of whom surmised that the 1869 score was a copy of an earlier, now-lost autograph. To my mind, Hawkshaw’s textual argument seems the more convincing.
