I (Lilysetter) found the following text of Kajetan Schmidinger (sorry for the missing ??? words I couldn't decipher):

Nachwort

Als sich im Jahre 1924 die ganze Welt rüstete, um die Jahrhundertfeier der Geburt Anton Bruckners festlich zu begehen, da wollte auch das kleine Heimatdörfchen Bruckners, Ansfelden, seines großen Sohnes durch eine würdige Brucknerfeier und Enthüllung eines Bruckner-Denkmales gedenken. Mir wurde die ehrende Aufgabe zuteil, beim Festgottesdienste im kleinen Pfarrkirchlein eine Bruckner-Messe zur Aufführung zu bringen. Nun sind die kirchlichen Messen??Werke des Musikers weit über die Verhältnisse des kleinen Landdörfchens hinausgewachsen??. So konnte also NUR nach einem Jugendwerke des Musikers gegriffen werden. So fiel dann meine Wahl auf die C-Messe, die der junge Schulgehilfe im Jahre 1841 in Windhaag bei Freistadt komponierte. Das innige Werkchen war jedoch in der Originalfassung - nur Alt-concertante-Stimme, Orgel und 2 Hörner - wenig brauchbar, weil zu einer "Fest"-Messe doch auch ein Chor gehört. So richtete ich die Komposition für gemischten Chor, Orgel und 2 Hörner ein. Als dann in Ansfelden eine Probe stattfand, erwies sich die Orgel als derart minderwertig, daß ich gezwungen war, den Orgelpart fast ??? einem Streicherquintett zu überantworten. Dies besorgte ich am 17. April 1924.

Ob dieser Bearbeitung wurde ich ziemlich angegriffen. Es gereicht mir jedoch zur Genugtuung, daß mir von berufenster Seite bestätigt wird, daß durch meine Bearbeitung das harmonische und musikalische Gerippe als Original ??? ??? blieb.

Aufführungen: ??? ??? Liedertafel Traun unter meiner Leitung in Ansfelden am 18. Mai 1924, dann in Windhaag unter Organist Karl ?Krejei?, in Freistadt unter Prof. Schallaböck, in Salzburg wiederholt unter Domkapellmeister Josef Messner.

Diese Abschrift ?besorgte? ich eigenhändig für das ?hrl.? Museum der Stadt Wels.

Traun, am 25. August 1927. Kajetan Schmidinger, Schuldirektor.
