Description
Gustav Mahler's symphonies and major song sets are more than just artworks - they're vivid journeys that explore the human experience. Mahler took the symphony to its fullest potential, introducing themes of love, nature, mortality, and spirituality. This book offers a general introduction to Mahler's music, exploring the elements that make each work an experiential adventure. Arved Ashby discusses the standard nine symphonies, as well as Das Lied von der Erde and three of Mahler's most commonly heard song sets. He also examines the unfinished Tenth Symphony. This book is a far-reaching search for meaning in Mahler's music, one that has redefined the symphonic genre. By exploring Mahler's life and work, Ashby offers insights into the composer's seemingly boundless energy and his ability to investigate the human condition through music.
