Abstract

It is no secret that Anton Bruckner figured importantly in the cultural pantheon of National Socialism.1 Like many other German-speaking artists of the past, Bruckner was exploited by the Nazi cultural pro- gram. Both the image of Bruckner arid his music were imagined to exemplify the essence of Aryan art and were thus enlisted in the campaign to legitimate Nazism.
