As one of the most popular classical composers in the performance
repertoire of professional and amateur orchestras and choirs across
the world, Gustav Mahler continues to generate significant
interest, and the global appetite for his music, and for
discussions of it, remains large. Editor Jeremy Barham brings
together leading and emerging scholars in the field to explore
Mahler's relationship with music, media, and ideas past and
present, addressing issues in structural analysis, performance,
genres of stage, screen and literature, cultural movements,
aesthetics, history/historiography and temporal experience.
Rethinking Mahler counterbalances prevailing scholarly assumptions
and preferences that configure Mahler as proto-modernist, with
hitherto neglected consideration of his debt to, and his
re-imagining of, the legacies of his own historical past. Over the
course of 17 chapters drawing from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives, the book pursues ideas of nostalgia, historicism and
'pastness' in relation to an emergent modernity and subsequent
musical-cultural developments, yielding a wide-ranging exploration
and re-evaluation of Mahler's works, their historical reception and
understanding, and their resounding impact within diverse cultural
contexts. Rethinking Mahler will be an essential resource for
scholars and students of Mahler and late Romantic era music more
generally, and will also find an audience among the many devotees
of Mahler's music.
