Description
The discovery of Hans Rott’s Symphony in E major in the 1990s caused quite a stir. Gustav Mahler, who was familiar with Rott's work, later elevated him to the status of the "founder of the new symphony [...] as I understand it". Rott studied under Anton Bruckner in Vienna, and the influence of his teacher is unmistakable. The symphony does not exist in a final fair copy (the first movement was even copied by another hand), which makes the editing process extremely difficult.
