Links with organ music |
- Bruckner received inspirations for his compositions from his own organ improvisations within the framework of the Catholic liturgy. He improvised in Palestrina's style, the strict, sacred contrapuntal style of the 16th century, but also on chorale melodies. Both elements can be found in his own compositions.
- The organ sound has an impact on his instrumentation. The addition of instruments in the score reflects the principle of pulling organ stops. Another example is the sudden transition from a fortissimo climax to a pianissimo passage, which means simply pulling different stops.
- nspired from organ performances is the enlargement of various sections by inserting organ-like crescendos without thematic development.
