[+] Polnauer, Joseph. "Paralipomena zu Berg und Webern." Österreichische Musikzeitschrift 24 (May/June 1969): 292-96.

In the first of two sections, Polnauer traces the alteration of a four-note motive through the second act of Wozzeck, arriving at a motive from Bruckner's D Minor Mass, which Polnauer claims is a clear quotation. Berg was a lifelong lover of Bruckner's music, quoting here from a religious work of Bruckner's for the Bible scene of Wozzeck. Also mentioned is the use of a folksong in Berg's Violin Concerto.
