Dear Alexander, I am not sure whether you are there after two years, but your scores definitely are. Thank you for checking and correcting them. I wrote my posts at the time when I had no access to any authoritative editions, and since I have been doing arrangements, I needed to check every note, so...

I decided to post again the list of questions about Bruckner motets: Virga Jesse bar 48 alto: C flat or C natural? Virga Jesse bar 70 bass: G or G sharp? In jener letzen der Nachte bar 21 tenor, the last note in the bar: C or B flat? Vier Tantum ergo, revised ed. (1888), Tantum ergo I in B flat majo...

Certainly it would be good to contact Alexander Reuter about this (I have no idea how?). However, since Bruckner manuscripts and first editions are generally available, I am looking for someone who has access to modern authoritative editions to check these particular bars.

I have found at least 4 errors in the scores of Bruckner motets which reappear again and again even in most recent scores provided by Alexander Reuter for IMSLP and claimed to be based on manuscript sources. The first three are not even mentioned in Nowak's Revisionbericht, which discusses differenc...

I have just obtained Kleinekirchemusikwerke Revisionsbericht (critical comments). Curiously, while discussing autograph sources and first editions, Nowak does not mention the discrepancy at all. So it seems that the sharp disappeared after the first edition...

There must be some misunderstanding here. The bass part in bar 70 in the manuscript looks to me like that: A natural A natural - G sharp G sharp. The question is not about A's but about G's. Most scores on the Internet omit the sharp sign. I cannot help clearly seeing the sharp sign (#) in the manus...

I am wondering why all the scores of Virga Jesse in IMSLP and elsewhere miss the sharp in bass in the last measure of bar 70 before the two Gs. Even Alexander Reuter's score which is claimed to be derived from the manuscript does not have the sharp. And yet the sharp is there in the manuscript.
