Following the earlier volumes in the Studies in Musical Genesis and
Structure series, Mahler's Fourth Symphony is a study of the
origins of the work as well as a thorough examination of Mahler's
compositional process. The source of the Fourth Symphony was the
song Das himmlische Leben, which Mahler completed in 1892 and later
wished to include in a large-scale work. Originally part of a
collection of settings from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the song became,
for a time, part of the Third Symphony (1896). Eventually Mahler
made Das himmlische Leben the source and goal of the Fourth
Symphony, which he completed in 1901. In this book, James Zychowicz
explores how Mahler's compositional process for the Fourth, from
the early movement plans to preliminary sketches, short score,
draft score, and fair copy. At each stage of the process, Mahler
added details, decided on textures, and explored tonalities until
he arrived at the finished score. This is the first comprehensive
study of Mahler's compositional method, concerning a pivotal work
in his oeuvre. The Fourth Symphony looks back toward the earlier
Wunderhorn period and simultaneously forward to the less
programmatic style of his middle symphonies.
