Never before published! Mahler composed the work at the beginning of 1888 in Leipzig. In 1889 it was subsequently premiered as a symphonic poem in Budapest. Now, Universal Edition is justifiably proud to publish this first score of Titan, the early five-movement version of his Symphony No. 1, in connection with the Complete New Critical Edition. Our first edition of Titan contains the history of its genesis, reviews of the performances in Hamburg and Weimar, a discussion of the programmes and the underlying ideas behind the work, colour prints of important sources, and an extensive critical commentary that describes the variants, problematic passages and all editorial interpolations. (-- Universal Edition) The International Gustav Mahler Society is the academic authority on my grandfather's works, and Universal Edition is his trusted publisher. (-- Marina Mahler).
