  • Bruckner's next attempt was a sketch of the first movement to a Symphony in B-flat major, but he did no further work on it afterwards.

There is a recording 'Bruckner Unknown' by Ricardo Luna on Preiser of a chamber arrangement of this 2-minute sketch, coupled with other (interesting) Bruckner miscellanea: discarded andante & scherzo from symphony No. 1, two discarded trios & sketches of the finale from symphony No. 9, as well as the premiere recording of the full setting of Christus factus est, WAB 10
