In dem ausführlichen Einführungsartikel der New York Times Nr. 17111 auf S. 40 (mit Notenbeispielen) wird Bruckner [irrig] als Lehrer Mahlers erwähnt:

In einer Buchbesprechung der Buffalo Sunday Morning News Nr. 5 auf S. 8 wird auch Bruckner erwähnt:
"             MUSICAL MATTERS.

[... Buch über Kirchenmusik ... Felix Weingartners Buch "The Symphony since Beethoven" ...].

     The symphony composers since Beethoven, whom he considers are Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, Bruckner, Joachim Raff, Robert Volkmann, [... 15 weitere Namen ...]. He does not praise all, but gives his opinions an the symphonic works of these composers in definite, direct and honest terms. The book is a genuine addition to musical literature.

     The "Guide to Parsifal," by Richard Aldrich is another valuable contribution to Parsifalites. Mr. Aldrich is the music editor of the New York Times, and he is recognized as a competent musical authority. [...]." [keine Signatur] (**).
