**The statement that Bruckner’s symphonic style did not change significantly does not apply to his slow
      movements, which, under the influence of Wagnerian style, became extremely chromatic and advanced
      in harmonic language in the last three symphonies. Furthermore, the statement that all his symphonies
      have four movements is not quite true; the last (9th) has only three, since Bruckner did not live to
      complete the work.
