Programme Note
Epitaph is like a concentrate of my subjective Bruckner impressions. Shortly before the end, a rhythmic quote from the second movement of the 9th Symphony also appears, this is the only concrete clue.
In other respects, it is possible to perceive certain “Brucknerisms” in the orchestral treatment in the broadest sense, but always through my personal prism.
