I'm just mentioning these two composers as they were significantly influenced by Bruckner without exactly copying him. Each wrote 3 symphonies. Wetz lived from 1875 -1935 mainly in Erfurt and Weimar while Scherber lived from 1907 to 1974 mainly in Nuremberg. Scherber's Symphony 3 is a modernistic take on the Bruckner style. Scherber also wrote a series of very fine songs. Their symphonies have been recorded. A few came out on LP and then more on CD. I find both composers interesting but YMMV.
