Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 2 C Minor: Orchestra: Study Score

With a detailed preface by Giselher Schubert. Mahler 2 – written between 1888 and 1894 and known as 'Resurrection Symphony'. Mahler found inspiration for the final 'Resurrection' movement at the funeral of Hans von Bülow.

Symphonische Dichtung. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Gustav Mahler’s “Funeral Rites“ (literally translated: “Celebration of the Dead“) was initially conceived as the first movement of a symphony in C minor and completed in 1888. After certain alterations, – mainly cuts and extensions regarding the instrumentation – the piece became the First Movement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (study scores available with the number UE34315) a few years later. Mahler himself conducted it as an independent piece with the Berlin Philharmonics in 1896./ Répertoire / Orchestre

The tune 'Brother John ' or 'Bruder Martin' to Mahler's recognition is used in the third movement titled 'Funeral March in the Manner of Callot ' to create a sense of irony. The inspiration for this section was a woodprint from a book of fairy tales. The print depicts forest animals serving as pallbearers at a hunter's forest funeral. The question is not so much 'Are you sleeping (forever)?' as it is 'Are we mourning or celebrating?' The animals appear unsure whether to focus on the end of the hunter or the end of the hunt. Mahler sets the tune in a minor key to stress this irony as the music moves between merriness and brooding. The tune appears as a canon or round.

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
