Aufführung der 3. Symphonie in der Züricher Tonhalle mit dem Berliner Tonkünstler-Orchester unter Richard Strauss (*).

The Dayton Daily News Nr. 181 (Dayton, Ohio) melden auf S. 16 die Uraufführung der 9. Symphonie [am 11.2.1903] (Text streckenweise identisch mit dem vom 15.3.1903):
"                  In the World of Music.
[...]

     Bruckner's unfinished Ninth symphony in D minor was given by the Wagner society of Vienna on February 11 for the very first time with great success. All three movements were applauded warmly. The scherzo was redemanded but the conductor refused the request. It is highly original and humorous. The most attractive was the final adagio, which the composer styled his "farewell to life."  " (**).
