At the end of his study period in form and orchestration by Otto Kitzler, Anton Bruckner made on 7 January 1863 sketches for a Symphony in D minor, WAB add 244.[1]
Bruckner did not go on with this project, but composed later in the same year (between 15 February and 26 May) the Symphony in F minor, WAB 99.
Bruckner gave the score of the Symphony in F minor to his friend Cyrill Hynais, together with that of the Four Orchestral Pieces of 1862 and the Overture in G minor. The symphony, which was not played in Bruckner's lifetime, received its first full performance at Klosterneuburg on 12 October 1924.[2][3][4] It is available in an edition by Leopold Nowak, published in 1973.[5]
