Par MAHLER GUSTAV. An unabridged republication of this work, orginally published by C. F. Kahnt Nachfolger in 1906. The symphony dates from the composer's prolific period of 1903-4. The work incorporates 'portraits' of Alma in the first movement and of children playing in a diabolical Scherzo- some say, a musical prediction of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
