I've never seen a score for Bruckner 4 that includes cymbals but some
performers (including Karajan) have put one in.  Unlike the climactic
slow-movement cymbal crashes of Bruckner 7 and 8 the one added to #4 marks
a weird spot--the 4th movement codetta where the symphony's opening motto
is recalled.  An impressive moment, but not the ideal one for a symphony's
only cymbal crash (even if the composer had put it there).
