Master of the Late Romantic Era: A Collection of Piano Works by Anton Bruckner

When you think of Anton Bruckner, most people probably imagine a master of the symphony—weighty, monumental, and expansive in length.

Although Bruckner was an Austrian composer and organist and one of the leading figures of the late Romantic era, he actually left a modest but notable body of piano works.

In 2021, Japanese pianist Yuriko Hara reportedly gave a highly acclaimed concert featuring only Bruckner’s solo piano pieces.
