Bruckner revised the work in 1876 and again in 1881–1882. The (small) differences between the versions concern mainly annotations about tempo, etc. For the original organ intermezzo of the Credo (after "et sepultus est") Bruckner composed an alternative with woodwind instruments, so that the conductor could choose between these two options.
