In this study Thomas Peattie offers a new account of Mahler's
symphonies by considering the composer's reinvention of the genre
in light of his career as a conductor and more broadly in terms of
his sustained engagement with the musical, theatrical, and
aesthetic traditions of the Austrian fin de siecle. Drawing on the
ideas of landscape, mobility, and theatricality, Peattie creates a
richly interdisciplinary framework that reveals the uniqueness of
Mahler's symphonic idiom and its radical attitude toward the
presentation and ordering of musical events. The book goes on to
identify a fundamental tension between the music's episodic nature
and its often-noted narrative impulse and suggests that Mahler's
symphonic dramaturgy can be understood as a form of abstract
theatre.
