¹ The latter's error in transcribing the theme of bar 50 (see Halli Cauthery's letter in Tempo 220) and then basing his analysis on the wrong transcription makes one wonder if he ever heard the piece! Or, to be charitable, did he have the rising minor third and falling sixth (minor, though, not major) of the first viola's theme in bars 29 and 30, to which I shall return (see Ex.G5 below), so much ‘in his ear’ that he confused the themes?

² The theme is heard unharmonized except for a tonic (D) pedal; it is worth recalling that in his classes in strict counter-point Bruckner apparently taught that the minor sixth was a dissonance that had to resolve to the fifth.
