Symphony No. 0 in D minor of 1869 was a very charming work of composer Anton Bruckner which was so harshly criticized that he retracted it completely, and it was not performed at all during his lifetime, hence his choice for the number of the symphony.This symphony was not assigned a number by its composer, and has subsequently become known by the German designation Die Nullte (translated to The Zeroth or Number Nought in English).
Anton Bruckner (4 September 1824 – 11 October 1896) was an Austrian composer whose mature music was written at the end of the Romantic era. Bruckner's reputation is based on his symphonies, masses, and motets.

Are you messing with me? No Austrian would retract his name from anything. But D minor is intriguing.
