With his extensive three-volume investigation, the author has newly
drawn the image of Gustav Mahler for our time. Should Mahler's
symphonies really be categorized as "absolute music"? -
Little-known manuscript sources contain significant hints to the
contrary: programmatic titles and catchwords or phrases, mottos,
literary allusions, associations, sighs, exclamations. Mahler fully
understood his symphonies as "erlebte Musik", music of experience,
as autobiography in notes, and as expressions of his
"weltanschauung". All the symphonies, including the purely
instrumental ones, can be traced back to programs that Mahler
originally made public, but suppressed later on. A knowledge of the
programmatic ideas provides access to a hitherto barely sensed
interior metaphysical world that is of crucial importance for an
adequate interpretation of the works. This first volume uncovers
the complexity of relations between Mahler's wide-ranging reading
and education, his aesthetics and his symphonic creation. About the
German edition of this book: "One of the most thoroughgoing and
comprehensive investigations of Gustav Mahler's work and world to
date." (Norddeutscher Rundfunk) "The way in which Mahler's literary
background, his education, and his aesthetic and philosophical
maxims are presented here indeed opens up a new approach." (Die
Musikforschung)
