In addition to his orchestral and vocal compositions, Anton Bruckner composed a few works for chamber ensembles during his stays in Linz and Vienna.

Linz period

After the end of Sechter's tuition, Bruckner studied by Otto Kitzler to exercise further in orchestration. During this period (1862-1863) he composed the following works for string quartet:

  • Scherzo for String Quartet, WAB deest: In the spring of 1862, Bruckner composed a scherzo for string quartet in G minor. This exercise is found on pp. 70–74 of the [Kitzler-Studienbuch] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help).[1][2]
  • The String Quartet in C minor, WAB 111, was composed between 28 July and 7 August 1862 as a further student exercise.[3] The work, which is found on pp. 165–196 of the [Kitzler Studienbuch] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help),[2][4] is issued in Band XIII/1 of the Gesamtausgabe.[5]
  • Rondo in C minor, WAB deest. After the completion of the composition of the String Quartet, Kitzler tasked Bruckner with writing a new, more fully developed final rondo for the Quartet. The new rondo, which was composed on 15 August 1862,[6] is found on pp. 197–206 of the [Kitzler Studienbuch] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help).[2][7] It is issued separate in Band XII/1 of the Gesamtausgabe.[8]

During the period following Kitzler's tuition Bruckner composed the following work:

Vienna period

During his stay in Vienna, Bruckner composed the following works for viola quintet:

  • The String Quintet in F major, WAB 112, was composed between December 1878 and July 1879 at the request of Joseph Hellmesberger, Sr. and was dedicated to Duke Max Emanuel of Bavaria.[11][12] The work, the manuscript of which is stored in the archive of the [Österreichische Nationalbibliothek] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), is put in Band XIII/2 of the Gesamtausgabe.[5]
  • The Intermezzo in D minor, WAB 113, was composed on 21 December 1879. It was intended to replace the scherzo of the String Quintet, which Hellmesberger found too challenging for the group to perform.[11][13] The Intermezzo, the manuscript of which is stored in the archive of the [Österreichische Nationalbibliothek] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), is put with the String Quintet in Band XIII/2 of the Gesamtausgabe.[5]
