Alfred Mathis-Rosenzweig (1897-1948) was a Viennese musicologist
and critic who studied at the universities of Budapest and Vienna.
From 1933 he embarked on producing a large-scale study of Mahler
but at the time of his death the manuscript was left unfinished.
Although it was presumed lost until 1997, the unfinished
typescript, written in German, had been deposited in the library of
the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. In 2003, the School's
Research Centre commissioned Jeremy Barham to prepare the first
published edition of this important work, and his annotations and
commentary add invaluable material to his translation of this
historic document. Biographical material is used as a loose
framework and platform for Mathis-Rosenzweig's profound examination
of the environment within which Mahler's earlier music was
embedded. This is an environment in which Wagner, Bruckner and Wolf
feature prominently, and in which Mahler's music is viewed from the
wider perspective of nineteenth-century German cultural domination
and the subsequent rise of political extremism in the form of
Hitlerite fascism.
