The present study offers an extended neo-Riemannian examination of chromatic-third relations in selectedBruckner compositions of the 1880s, and it constitutes the first such examination of the composer's music. Owing to its inherent indifference towards the notions of tonal centre and conventional harmonic syntax, a neo-Riemannian transformational model seems particularly apt for the analysis of the music selected - music in which non-functional chord progressions, symmetrical divisions of the octave and the temporary suspension of tonic centricity are featured. The characteristics of the works analysed here suggest an evolution inBruckner's handling of chromaticism, from the seeminglysui generismixture of plagal and chromatic-third relations in the coda of the opening movement of the SixthSymphony, to a more methodical use of hexatonic-polar transformations in the motetEcce sacerdos magnus, to the exhaustive, almost systematic exploration of hexatonic cycles in the finale of the EighthSymphony
