tenor. orchestraPremiereDate20 November 1911 ( 1911-11-20)LocationConductorDas Lied von der Erde ('The Song of the Earth') is a composition for two voices and orchestra written by the Austrian between 1908 and 1909. Described as a when published, it comprises six songs for two singers who alternate movements.Mahler specified the two singers should be a and an, or else a tenor and a if an alto is not available.Mahler composed this work following the most painful period in his life, and the songs address themes such as those of living, parting and salvation.On the centenary of Mahler's birth, the composer and prominent Mahler conductor described Das Lied von der Erde as Mahler's 'greatest symphony'.
Autumn fog creeps bluishly over the lake.Every blade of grass stands frosted.As though an artist had jade-dustover the fine flowers strewn.The sweet fragrance of flower has passed;A cold wind bows their stems low.Soon will the wilted, golden petalsof lotus flowers upon the water float.My heart is tired. My little lampexpired with a crackle, minding me to sleep.I come to you, trusted resting place.Yes, give me rest, I have need of refreshment!I weep often in my loneliness.Autumn in my heart lingers too long.Sun of love, will you no longer shineGently to dry up my bitter tears?3. ' Von der Jugend' ('Youth'). If life is but a dream,why work and worry?I drink until I no more can,the whole, blessed day!And if I can drink no moreas throat and soul are full,then I stagger to my doorand sleep wonderfully!What do I hear on waking? Hark!A bird sings in the tree.I ask him if it's spring already;to me it's as if I'm in a dream.The bird chirps Yes!The spring is here, it came overnight!From deep wonderment I listen;the bird sings and laughs!I fill my cup anewand drink it to the bottomand sing until the moon shinesin the black firmament!And if I can not sing,then I fall asleep again.What to me is spring?Let me be drunk!6. ' Der Abschied' ('The Farewell'). Like many drinking poems by Li Bai, the original poem 'Bei Ge Xing' (a pathetic song) (: 悲歌行) mixes drunken exaltation with a deep sadness.
The singer's part is notoriously demanding, since the tenor has to struggle at the top of his range against the power of the full orchestra. This gives the voice its shrill, piercing quality, and is consistent with Mahler's practice of pushing instruments, including vocal cords, to their limits. According to musicologist, the tenor should here create the impression of a 'denatured voice in the Chinese style'. 'The lonely one in Autumn' (for alto, in ) is a much softer, less turbulent movement. Marked 'somewhat dragging and exhausted', it begins with a repetitive shuffling in the strings, followed by solo wind instruments. The lyrics, which are based on the first part of a era poem by, lament the dying of flowers and the passing of beauty, as well as expressing an exhausted longing for sleep. The orchestration in this movement is sparse and -like, with long and independent contrapuntal lines.3.
' Von der Jugend'. The second of the work is provided by the fifth movement, 'The drunken man in Spring' (for tenor, in ). Like the first, it opens with a horn theme.
In this movement Mahler uses an extensive variety of key signatures, which can change as often as every few measures. The middle section features a solo violin and solo flute, which represent the bird the singer describes.6. ' Der Abschied' The final movement, 'The Farewell' (for alto, from to ), is nearly as long as the previous five movements combined. Its text is drawn from two different poems, both involving the theme of leave-taking.
Mahler himself added the last lines. This final song is also notable for its text-painting, using a to represent the singer's lute, imitating bird calls with woodwinds, and repeatedly switching between the major and minor modes to articulate sharp contrasts in the text.The movement is divided into three major sections. In the first, the singer describes the nature around her as night falls. In the second, she is waiting for her friend to say a final farewell. A long orchestral interlude precedes the third section, which depicts the exchange between the two friends and fades off into silence. Lines 1–3, 17–19, and 26–28 are all sung to the same music, with a pedal point in the low strings and soft strokes of the tam-tam; in the first two of these sections, a countermelody in the flute imitates the song of a bird, but the third of these sections is just the bare pedal point and tam-tam.
The singer repeats the final word of the song, ' ewig' ('forever'), like a, accompanied by sustained chords in the orchestra, which features,. ' Ewig' is repeated as the music fades into silence, the final chord 'printed on the atmosphere' as asserted. It is also worth noting that throughout Das Lied von der Erde there is a persistent message that 'The earth will stay beautiful forever, but man cannot live for even a hundred years.' At the end of 'Der Abschied,' however, Mahler adds three original lines which repeat this, but purposefully omit the part saying that 'man must die'. Conductor and composer asserts that this ties in with the Eastern idea of, in that the 'soul' of the singer, as she or he dies, becomes one with the everlasting earth.
Gustav Mahler, photographed in 1907 at the end of his period as director of theGustav Mahler ( German:; 7 July 1860 – 18 May 1911) was an Austro-Bohemian late- composer, and one of the leading of his generation. As a composer he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the. After 1945 his compositions were rediscovered by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.In 2016, a survey of 151 conductors ranked three of his symphonies in the top ten symphonies of all time.Born in (then part of the ) to parents of humble circumstances, the German-speaking Mahler displayed his musical gifts at an early age.
After graduating from the in 1878, he held a succession of conducting posts of rising importance in the opera houses of Europe, culminating in his appointment in 1897 as director of the (Hofoper). During his ten years in Vienna, Mahler—who had converted to Catholicism to secure the post—experienced regular opposition and hostility from the anti-Semitic press. Nevertheless, his innovative productions and insistence on the highest performance standards ensured his reputation as one of the greatest of opera conductors, particularly as an interpreter of the stage works of,. Late in his life he was briefly director of New York's and the.Mahler's is relatively limited; for much of his life composing was necessarily a part-time activity while he earned his living as a conductor. Aside from early works such as a movement from a composed when he was a student in Vienna, Mahler's works are generally designed for large orchestral forces, symphonic choruses and operatic soloists. These works were frequently controversial when first performed, and several were slow to receive critical and popular approval; exceptions included his, and the triumphant premiere of his in 1910.
Some of Mahler's immediate musical successors included the composers of the, notably, and., and are among later 20th-century composers who admired and were influenced by Mahler. The International Gustav Mahler Institute was established in 1955 to honour the composer's life and work. Jihlava (German: Iglau), where Mahler grew upThe Mahler family came from eastern and were of humble circumstances; the composer's grandmother had been a street.
Bohemia was then part of the; the Mahler family belonged to a German-speaking minority among Bohemians, and was also. From this background the future composer developed early on a permanent sense of exile, 'always an intruder, never welcomed.' Bernhard Mahler, the pedlar's son and the composer's father, elevated himself to the ranks of the by becoming a coachman and later an innkeeper.
He bought a modest house in the village of Kalischt , halfway between in and in, in the geographic center of today's Czech Republic. Bernhard's wife, Marie (Herrmann), gave birth to the first of the couple's 14 children, a son Isidor, who died in infancy. Two years later, on 7 July 1860, their second son, Gustav, was born. Childhood In October 1860, Bernhard Mahler moved with his wife and infant son, Gustav, to the town of Iglau , 25 km (16 mi) to the south-east (Moravia), where he built up a distillery and tavern business. The family grew rapidly, but of the 12 children (three daughters) born to the family in Iglau only six survived infancy. Iglau was then a thriving commercial town of 20,000 people where Gustav was introduced to music through street songs, dance tunes, folk melodies, and the trumpet calls and marches of the local military band.
All of these elements would later contribute to his mature musical vocabulary.When he was four years old, Gustav discovered his grandparents' piano and took to it immediately. He developed his performing skills sufficiently to be considered a local and gave his first public performance at the town theatre when he was ten years old. Although Gustav loved making music, his school reports from the Iglau portrayed him as absent-minded and unreliable in academic work.
In 1871, in the hope of improving the boy's results, his father sent him to the New Town Gymnasium in Prague, but Gustav was unhappy there and soon returned to Iglau. On 13 April 1875 he suffered a bitter personal loss when his younger brother Ernst (b. 18 March 1862) died after a long illness. Mahler sought to express his feelings in music: with the help of a friend, Josef Steiner, he began work on an opera, Herzog Ernst von Schwaben ('Duke Ernest of Swabia') as a memorial to his lost brother. Neither the music nor the of this work has survived.
Student days Bernhard Mahler supported his son's ambitions for a music career, and agreed that the boy should try for a place at the. The young Mahler was auditioned by the renowned pianist, and accepted for 1875–76. He made good progress in his piano studies with Epstein and won prizes at the end of each of his first two years. For his final year, 1877–78, he concentrated on composition and harmony under. Few of Mahler's student compositions have survived; most were abandoned when he became dissatisfied with them.
He destroyed a symphonic movement prepared for an end-of-term competition, after its scornful rejection by the autocratic director on the grounds of copying errors. Mahler may have gained his first conducting experience with the Conservatory's student orchestra, in rehearsals and performances, although it appears that his main role in this orchestra was as a percussionist.
An admirer of Mahler's conductingIn the summer of 1892 Mahler took the Hamburg singers to London to participate in an eight-week season of German opera—his only visit to Britain. His conducting of Tristan enthralled the young composer, who 'staggered home in a daze and could not sleep for two nights.' However, Mahler refused further such invitations as he was anxious to reserve his summers for composing. In 1893 he acquired a retreat at, on the banks of in Upper Austria, and established a pattern that persisted for the rest of his life; summers would henceforth be dedicated to composition, at Steinbach or its successor retreats. Now firmly under the influence of the Wunderhorn folk-poem collection, Mahler produced a stream of song settings at Steinbach, and composed his Second and Symphonies there.Performances of Mahler works were still comparatively rare (he had not composed very much). On 27 October 1893, at Hamburg's Konzerthaus Ludwig, Mahler conducted a revised version of his First Symphony; still in its original five-movement form, it was presented as a Tondichtung (tone poem) under the descriptive name 'Titan'. This concert also introduced six recent Wunderhorn settings.
Mahler achieved his first relative success as a composer when the Second Symphony was well-received on its premiere in Berlin, under his own baton, on 13 December 1895. Mahler's conducting assistant, who was present, said that 'one may date Mahler's rise to fame as a composer from that day.' That same year Mahler's private life had been disrupted by the suicide of his younger brother on 6 February.At the Stadttheater Mahler's repertory consisted of 66 operas of which 36 titles were new to him.
During his six years in Hamburg he conducted 744 performances, amongst other he introduced: Verdi's, 's, and works. However, he was forced to resign his post with the subscription concerts after poor financial returns and an ill-received interpretation of his re-scored. Already at an early age Mahler had made it clear that his ultimate goal was an appointment in Vienna, and from 1895 onward was manoeuvring, with the help of influential friends, to secure the directorship of the Vienna Hofoper. He overcame the bar that existed against the appointment of a Jew to this post by what may have been a pragmatic conversion to Roman Catholicism in February 1897.
Despite this event, Mahler has been described as a lifelong agnostic. Vienna, 1897–1907 Hofoper director. Mahler's conducting style, 1901, caricatured in the humor magazineOn 8 October Mahler was formally appointed to succeed Jahn as the Hofoper's director. His first production in his new office was Smetana's Czech nationalist opera, with a reconstituted finale that left the hero Dalibor alive.

This production caused anger among the more extreme Viennese German nationalists, who accused Mahler of 'fraternising with the anti-dynastic, inferior Czech nation.' The Austrian author, in his memoirs (1942), described Mahler's appointment as an example of the Viennese public's general distrust of young artists: 'Once, when an amazing exception occurred and Gustav Mahler was named director of the Court Opera at thirty-eight years old, a frightened murmur and astonishment ran through Vienna, because someone had entrusted the highest institute of art to 'such a young person'.
This suspicion—that all young people were 'not very reliable'—ran through all circles at that time.' Zweig also wrote that 'to have seen Gustav Mahler on the street in Vienna was an event that one would proudly report to his comrades the next morning as it if were a personal triumph.' During Mahler's tenure a total of 33 new operas were introduced to the Hofoper; a further 55 were new or totally revamped productions. However, a proposal to stage 's controversial opera in 1905 was rejected by the Viennese censors.Early in 1902 Mahler met, an artist and designer associated with the movement. A year later, Mahler appointed him chief stage designer to the Hofoper, where Roller's debut was a new production of Tristan und Isolde.
The collaboration between Mahler and Roller created more than 20 celebrated productions of, among other operas, 's, 's and Mozart's. In the Figaro production, Mahler offended some purists by adding and composing a short recitative scene to Act III. Plaque on Mahler's Vienna apartment, 2 Auenbruggerstrasse: 'Gustav Mahler lived and composed in this house from 1898 to 1909'.In spite of numerous theatrical triumphs, Mahler's Vienna years were rarely smooth; his battles with singers and the house administration continued on and off for the whole of his tenure.
While Mahler's methods improved standards, his histrionic and dictatorial conducting style was resented by orchestra members and singers alike. In December 1903 Mahler faced a revolt by stagehands, whose demands for better conditions he rejected in the belief that extremists were manipulating his staff. The anti-Semitic elements in Viennese society, long opposed to Mahler's appointment, continued to attack him relentlessly, and in 1907 instituted a press campaign designed to drive him out.
By that time he was at odds with the opera house's administration over the amount of time he was spending on his own music, and was preparing to leave. In May 1907 he began discussions with, director of the New York, and on 21 June signed a contract, on very favourable terms, for four seasons' conducting in New York. At the end of the summer he submitted his resignation to the Hofoper, and on 15 October 1907 conducted Fidelio, his 645th and final performance there. During his ten years in Vienna, Mahler had brought new life to the opera house and cleared its debts, but had won few friends—it was said that he treated his musicians in the way a lion tamer treated his animals.
His departing message to the company, which he pinned to a notice board, was later torn down and scattered over the floor. After conducting the Hofoper orchestra in a farewell concert performance of his Second Symphony on 24 November, Mahler left Vienna for New York in early December.
Philharmonic concerts. Silhouette byWhen Richter resigned as head of the Vienna Philharmonic subscription concerts in September 1898, the concerts committee had unanimously chosen Mahler as his successor. The appointment was not universally welcomed; the anti-Semitic press wondered if, as a non-German, Mahler would be capable of defending German music. Attendances rose sharply in Mahler's first season, but members of the orchestra were particularly resentful of his habit of re-scoring acknowledged masterpieces, and of his scheduling of extra rehearsals for works with which they were thoroughly familiar. An attempt by the orchestra to have Richter reinstated for the 1899 season failed, because Richter was not interested. Mahler's position was weakened when, in 1900, he took the orchestra to Paris to play at the. The Paris concerts were poorly attended and lost money—Mahler had to borrow the orchestra's fare home from the.
In April 1901, dogged by a recurrence of ill-health and wearied by more complaints from the orchestra, Mahler relinquished the Philharmonic concerts conductorship. In his three seasons he had performed around 80 different works, which included pieces by relatively unknown composers such as, and the Italian. Mature composer. Mahler's second composing hut, at (near ), on the shores of the in CarinthiaThe demands of his twin appointments in Vienna initially absorbed all Mahler's time and energy, but by 1899 he had resumed composing. The remaining Vienna years were to prove particularly fruitful.
While working on some of the last of his Des Knaben Wunderhorn settings he started his, which he completed in 1900. By this time he had abandoned the composing hut at Steinbach and had acquired another, at on the shores of the in, where he later built a villa. In this new venue Mahler embarked upon what is generally considered as his 'middle' or post- Wunderhorn compositional period. Between 1901 and 1904 he wrote ten settings of poems by, five of which were collected as. The other five formed the song cycle ('Songs on the Death of Children'). The trilogy of orchestral symphonies, the, the and the were composed at Maiernigg between 1901 and 1905, and the written there in 1906, in eight weeks of furious activity.Within this same period Mahler's works began to be performed with increasing frequency.
In April 1899 he conducted the Viennese premiere of his Second Symphony; 17 February 1901 saw the first public performance of his early work Das klagende Lied, in a revised two-part form. Later that year, in November, Mahler conducted the premiere of his Fourth Symphony, in, and was on the rostrum for the first complete performance of the, at the festival at on 9 June 1902.
Mahler 'first nights' now became increasingly frequent musical events; he conducted the first performances of the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies at and respectively, in 1904 and 1906. Four of the, and Kindertotenlieder, were introduced in Vienna on 29 January 1905.
Marriage, family, tragedy. Who married Mahler in 1902 (from 1902, possibly earlier)During his second season in Vienna, Mahler acquired a spacious modern apartment on the Auenbruggerstrasse and built a summer villa on land he had acquired next to his new composing studio at Maiernigg. In November 1901, he met, the stepdaughter of painter, at a social gathering that included the theatre director. Alma was not initially keen to meet Mahler, on account of 'the scandals about him and every young woman who aspired to sing in opera.'
The two engaged in a lively disagreement about a ballet by (Alma was one of Zemlinsky's pupils), but agreed to meet at the Hofoper the following day. This meeting led to a rapid courtship; Mahler and Alma were married at a private ceremony on 9 March 1902.
Alma was by then pregnant with her first child, a daughter Maria Anna, who was born on 3 November 1902. A second daughter, was born in 1904.
1902 portrait byFriends of the couple were surprised by the marriage and dubious of its wisdom. Burckhard called Mahler 'that degenerate Jew,' unworthy for such a good-looking girl of good family. On the other hand, Mahler's family considered Alma to be flirtatious, unreliable, and too fond of seeing young men fall for her charms.
Mahler was by nature moody and authoritarian—Natalie Bauer-Lechner, his earlier partner, said that living with him was 'like being on a boat that is ceaselessly rocked to and fro by the waves.' Alma soon became resentful because of Mahler's insistence that there could only be one composer in the family and that she had given up her music studies to accommodate him. She wrote in her diary: 'How hard it is to be so mercilessly deprived of. Things closest to one's heart.' Mahler's requirement that their married life be organized around his creative activities imposed strains, and precipitated rebellion on Alma's part; the marriage was nevertheless marked at times by expressions of considerable passion, particularly from Mahler.In the summer of 1907 Mahler, exhausted from the effects of the campaign against him in Vienna, took his family to Maiernigg.
Soon after their arrival both daughters fell ill with. Anna recovered, but after a fortnight's struggle Maria died on 12 July. Immediately following this devastating loss, Mahler learned that his heart was defective, a diagnosis subsequently confirmed by a Vienna specialist, who ordered a curtailment of all forms of vigorous exercise. The extent to which Mahler's condition disabled him is unclear; Alma wrote of it as a virtual death sentence, though Mahler himself, in a letter written to her on 30 August 1907, said that he would be able to live a normal life, apart from avoiding over-fatigue. The illness was, however, a further depressing factor; at the end of the summer the villa at Maiernigg was closed, and never revisited.
The in New York, at around the time of Mahler's conductorship (1908–09)Mahler made his New York debut at the on 1 January 1908, when he conducted Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. In a busy first season Mahler's performances were widely praised, especially his Fidelio on 20 March 1908, in which he insisted on using replicas that were at the time being made of Alfred Roller's Vienna sets. On his return to Austria for the summer of 1908, Mahler established himself in the third and last of his composing studios, in the pine forests close to in. Here, using a text by based on ancient Chinese poems, he composed ('The Song of the Earth').
Despite the symphonic nature of the work, Mahler refused to number it, hoping thereby to escape the that he believed had affected fellow-composers Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner. On 19 September 1908 the premiere of the, in Prague, was deemed by Alma Mahler a critical rather than a popular success.For its 1908–09 season the Metropolitan management brought in the Italian conductor to share duties with Mahler, who made only 19 appearances in the entire season.
One of these was a much-praised performance of Smetana's on 19 February 1909. In the early part of the season Mahler conducted three concerts with the. This renewed experience of orchestral conducting inspired him to resign his position with the opera house and accept the conductorship of the re-formed.
He continued to make occasional guest appearances at the Met, his last performance being Tchaikovsky's on 5 March 1910.Back in Europe for the summer of 1909, Mahler worked on his and made a conducting tour of the Netherlands. The 1909–10 New York Philharmonic season was long and taxing; Mahler rehearsed and conducted 46 concerts, but his programmes were often too demanding for popular tastes. His own First Symphony, given its American debut on 16 December 1909, was one of the pieces that failed with critics and public, and the season ended with heavy financial losses. The highlight of Mahler's 1910 summer was the first performance of the Eighth Symphony at Munich on 12 September, the last of his works to be premiered in his lifetime. The occasion was a triumph—'easily Mahler's biggest lifetime success,' according to biographer Robert Carr —but it was overshadowed by the composer's discovery, before the event, that Alma had begun an affair with the young architect. Greatly distressed, Mahler sought advice from, and appeared to gain some comfort from his meeting with the psychoanalyst. One of Freud's observations was that much damage had been done by Mahler's insisting that Alma give up her composing.
Mahler accepted this, and started to positively encourage her to write music, even editing, orchestrating and promoting some of her works. Alma agreed to remain with Mahler, although the relationship with Gropius continued surreptitiously. In a gesture of love, Mahler dedicated his Eighth Symphony to her. Illness and death. A satirical comment on Mahler's. The caption translates: 'My God, I've forgotten the motor horn!
Now I shall have to write another symphony.' Mahler's friend Guido Adler calculated that at the time of the composer's death in 1911 there had been more than 260 performances of the symphonies in Europe, Russia and America, the Fourth Symphony with 61 performances given most frequently (Adler did not enumerate performances of the songs). In his lifetime, Mahler's works and their performances attracted wide interest, but rarely unqualified approval; for years after its 1889 premiere critics and public struggled to understand the First Symphony, described by one critic after an 1898 Dresden performance as 'the dullest symphonic work the new epoch has produced.' The Second Symphony was received more positively, one critic calling it 'the most masterly work of its kind since Mendelssohn.' Such generous praise was rare, particularly after Mahler's accession to the Vienna Hofoper directorship.
His many enemies in the city used the anti-Semitic and conservative press to denigrate almost every performance of a Mahler work; thus the Third Symphony, a success in Krefeld in 1902, was treated in Vienna with critical scorn: 'Anyone who has committed such a deed deserves a couple of years in prison.' A mix of enthusiasm, consternation and critical contempt became the normal response to new Mahler symphonies, although the songs were better received. After his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies failed to gain general public approval, Mahler was convinced that his Sixth would finally succeed. However, its reception was dominated by satirical comments on Mahler's unconventional percussion effects—the use of a wooden mallet, birch rods and a huge square bass drum.
Viennese critic Heinrich Reinhardt dismissed the symphony as 'Brass, lots of brass, incredibly much brass! Even more brass, nothing but brass!' The one unalloyed performance triumph within Mahler's lifetime was the premiere of the Eighth Symphony in Munich, on 12 September 1910, advertised by its promoters as the 'Symphony of a Thousand.' At its conclusion, applause and celebrations reportedly lasted for half an hour.
Relative neglect, 1911–50 Performances of Mahler's works became less frequent after his death. In the Netherlands the advocacy of Willem Mengelberg ensured that Mahler remained popular there, and Mengelberg's engagement with the New York Philharmonic from 1922 to 1928 brought Mahler regularly to American audiences. However, much American critical reaction in the 1920s was negative, despite a spirited effort by the young composer to present Mahler as a progressive, 30 years ahead of his time and infinitely more inventive than Richard Strauss. Earlier, in 1916, had given the American premieres of the Eighth Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde in.
The Eighth was a sensationally successful performance that was immediately taken to New York where it scored a further triumph. An early proponent of Mahler's work in Britain was, who as conductor of the performed the Fourth Symphony in 1926 and Das Lied von der Erde in 1930. The brought Das Lied and the Ninth Symphony to in 1931; Sir staged the Eighth in London in 1930, and again in 1938 when the young found the performance 'execrable' but was nevertheless impressed by the music. British critics during this period largely treated Mahler with condescension and faint praise.
Thus, writing in 1934, thought the 'children's songs' were delightful, but that the symphonies should be let go. Composer-conductor described Mahler's symphonies as 'interesting at times, but laboriously put together' and as lacking creative spark., in his role as music critic, thought that the musical audiences of the 1930s would find Mahler (and Bruckner) 'expensively second-rate.' Before Mahler's music was banned as ' during the, the symphonies and songs were played in the concert halls of Germany and Austria, often conducted by or Mahler's younger assistant, and also.
In Austria, Mahler's work experienced a brief renaissance between 1934 and 1938, a period known today as ', when the authoritarian regime with the help of Alma Mahler and Bruno Walter, who were both on friendly terms with the new chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, sought to make Mahler into a national icon (with a status comparable to that of Wagner in Germany). Mahler's music was performed during the Nazi era in Berlin in early 1941 and in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands by Jewish orchestras and for Jewish audiences alone; works performed included the Second Symphony (Berlin), the First and Fourth Symphonies, and the Songs of a Wayfarer (Amsterdam). Modern revival According to American composer, his compatriot used to imply that he had single-handedly rescued Mahler from oblivion in 1960, after 50 years of neglect. Schiff points out that such neglect was only relative—far less than the (incomplete) disregard of in the years after his death. Although Bernstein gave the Mahler revival further impetus, it was well under way before 1960, sustained by conductors such as Stokowski, and, and by the long-time Mahler advocate Aaron Copland.
Mahler himself predicted his place in history, once commenting: 'Would that I could perform my symphonies for the first time 50 years after my death!' Deryck Cooke argues that Mahler's popularity escalated when a new, postwar generation of music-lovers arose, untainted by 'the dated polemics of anti-romanticism' which had affected Mahler's reputation in the inter-war years.
In this more liberated age, enthusiasm for Mahler expanded even into places—Spain, France, Italy—which had long been resistant to him. Robert Carr's simpler explanation for the 1950s Mahler revival is that 'it was the in the early 1950s rather than the Zeitgeist which made a comprehensive breakthrough possible. Mahler's work became accessible and repeatable in the home.' In the years following his centenary in 1960, Mahler rapidly became one of the most performed and most recorded of all composers, and has largely remained thus. In Britain and elsewhere, Carr notes, the extent of Mahler performances and recordings has replaced a relative famine with a glut, bringing problems of over-familiarity. Harold Schonberg comments that 'it is hard to think of a composer who arouses equal loyalty,' adding that 'a response of anything short of rapture to the Mahler symphonies will bring to the critic long letters of furious denunciation.' In a letter to Alma dated 16 February 1902, Mahler wrote, with reference to Richard Strauss: 'My day will come when his is ended.
If only I might live to see it, with you at my side!' Carr observes that Mahler could conceivably have lived to see 'his day'; his near-contemporary Richard Strauss survived until 1949, while Sibelius, just five years younger than Mahler, lived until 1957. Later influence Donald Mitchell writes that Mahler's influence on succeeding generations of composers is 'a complete subject in itself.'
Mahler's first disciples included and his pupils and, who together founded the. Mahler's music influenced the trio's move from progressive tonalism to (music without a key); although Mahler rejected atonality, he became a fierce defender of the bold originality of Schoenberg's work. At the premiere of the latter's in February 1907, Mahler reportedly was held back from physically attacking the hecklers.
Schoenberg's Serenade, Op. 24 (1923), Berg's (1915) and Webern's Six Pieces (1928) all carry echoes of Mahler's Seventh Symphony.Among other composers whose work carries the influence of Mahler, Mitchell lists America's Aaron Copland, the German song and stage composer, Italy's, Russia's and England's. The American composers and were also influenced by Mahler's work. In a 1989 interview the pianist-conductor said that the connection between Mahler and Shostakovich was 'very strong and obvious'; their music represented 'the individual versus the vices of the world.' Mitchell highlights Britten's 'marvellously keen, spare and independent writing for the wind in.
