Roots of the Genius Anton Bruckner in St. Florian

When Bruckner returns to St. Florian after his training year in Linz and his time as a teacher’s assistant, he is overjoyed. In 1845, he takes up the job as assistant teacher in the school. At the same time, music becomes ever more important, and Bruckner perfects his organ playing. He becomes the organist and a private teacher of the St. Florian Boys Choir, which he teaches very good-naturedly. St. Florian never releases its hold on him and after his death, Bruckner’s wish to find his final resting place under the organ in St. Florian is fulfilled.
