He was also particularly influenced by Peter Giacomelli and Camillo Moser. In the field of brass music it was Silvius Deflorian (Rovereto) and Angelo Creonti (Bologna).
In 1939 Brunner was involved in the reestablishment of the band in his hometown Olang and in the development of several bands in the Pustertal , especially as a conductor. He proved his instrumental skills by playing the organ and the clarinet , as well as the piano and other wind instruments , which he learned autodidactically . Friedrich Brunner had perfect pitch .
He was active in the Association of South Tyrolean Music Bands from 1949 to 1980. In the Bruneck district he held the position of vice-director for 13 years and then that of district conductor for 17 years. For more than twenty years, Friedrich Brunner led a national wind orchestra consisting of wind players from various bands.
