Mahler Studies comprises ten innovative essays on topics spanning
the range of Mahler research. Blaukopf's inquiry into critical
influences on Mahler's student years provides background for
Reilly's reassessment of sources for 'Opus 1', Das klagende Lied.
McClatchie introduces Mahler's previously inaccessible
correspondence with family members, while Feder presents insightful
psychoanalytic perspectives on Mahler's relationships to his sister
Justine and other women in his life before Alma. Mitchell and La
Grange explore the complex issue of quotation and allusion in
Mahler's oeuvre. The long-restricted Seventh Symphony sketchbook
provides detailed glimpses of that Mahlerian 'world' emerging in
its earliest stages, as documented by Hefling. Issues of tonal
structure and coherence are addressed by Agawu and Williamson,
while Franklin on Adorno's Mahler provides a clear explication of
that author's dialectic engagement with the composer.
Since its premiere Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) has been widely regarded as his finest masterpiece. It was written in the wake of personal events that shook the foundations of his life in 1907 and, like all his earlier works, it is deeply influenced by the composer's individual and philosophical worldview. Stephen Hefling provides a background to this symphony for voice and orchestra, describes its genesis, summarizes reviews of the premiere, and gives a careful account of all six movements.
Mahler Studies comprises ten innovative essays by leading experts on topics spanning the range of current Mahler research, including biographical, psychoanalytical, source-critical, and theoretical approaches to the composer who, with astonishing foresight, repeatedly claimed that "my time will come." Highlights include previously inaccessible documents, sketches, and family letters, an insightful overview of Mahler and the "eternal feminine," state-of-the-art essays on Mahler and musical analysis, and a clear account of the influential Mahler criticism of Theodor W. Adorno.
