His first symphony, dedicated to Strausssee Scan of symphony, p. 9. was performed (premiered?) in Essen on 24 May 1906, as part of the 42nd Tonkünstler-Festival, the same festival that saw the premiere of Gustav Mahler's Sixth Symphony.The review refers to Bischoff as a pupil, not just an associate, of Strauss.
