Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major

Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major
The Symphony No 5 exists in essentially two versions: The 1878 Version prepared by Robert Haas and Leopold Nowak. There is virtually no difference between these two scores. The first published edition was heavily edited by Franz Schalk for its first publication in 1896. This version is rarely played today. Most of Bruckner's early concepts for this score do not exist since he erased and wrote over earlier passages. Those that could be determined were prepared by William Carragan for an edition that shows the score in 1876.
