Donald Mitchell's second exploration of Gustav Mahler's life and work centers on Mahler's initial settings of Wunderhorn texts, including volumes I and II of Lieder und Gesange, the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen song-cycle, and later Wunderhorn poem adaptations. The book delves into the intricate chronology of the First, Second, and Third Symphonies, revealing the interplay between song and symphony during this creative period. It highlights the importance of imagery from the Wunderhorn anthology and the ambiguous position of Mahler's music, caught between symphonic and symphonic poem forms. The final section examines the Fourth Symphony as a unique reflection of Wunderhorn's influence and explores intriguing topics such as Mahler's relationship with Berlioz, his fondness for the E flat clarinet, Bach's impact on his later works, and his engagement with Freud. This updated edition features extensive corrections and additions, emphasizing that the Wunderhorn influence extended beyond its initial period of inspiration. Additionally, a revised bibliography documents the evolution of Mahler literature and its reception, showcasing the diverse circumstances surrounding the study of his music and life today. This book is an essential addition for any Mahler enthusiast.
