In einer Buchbesprechung in The New York Times Nr. 17507 auf S. 20 wird Bruckner erwähnt:

"        HISTORY OF MUSIC.

     By Arrangement with The London Times.
THE last volume of "The Oxford History of Music" has appeared under circumstances of exceptional tragedy. [... Autor zwischenzeitlich verstorben ... über die Entwicklung der Musik im 19. Jahrhundert ...].

     The composers whose works form the basis of this history range from Weber to Max Bruch and Grieg. The list includes Sullivan, born in 1842; Goetz, in 1843. It covers the development of opera from Weber to Wagner, and of absolute music from Mendelssohn to Bruckner; but of the great master who kept the true traditions of the royal line of absolute music, and who united in himself the mastery both of design and of the purest elements of refined romance, Johannes Brahms, there is but an occasional passing mention, generally so written as to make the reader search for the chapter wherein his work and influence are chronicled, only to find it non-existent. This lacuna most gravely damages both the value and the balance of the book. [... hier vermisst man das Eingreifen des Autors ... das Buch sollte ursprünglich mit Schumann enden ...]."
