This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though widely recognized as a key figure of twentieth-century modernism, Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) frequently references classical compositional techniques in many of his symphonic works. In particular, countless authors have observed the prominent classical elements of Symphony No. 4, which are especially notable in its first movement. While a formal analysis of this opening movement does reveal similarities between Mahler's organization and classical structural norms, it also uncovers many compositional strategies that are more characteristic of late-romanticism. For instance, whereas many analyze this movement as a typical first-movement sonata form, its tonal and formal organization more closely resembles that of a sonata-rondo (though this form is typically reserved for finales and the occasional slow movement). Additionally, Mahler plays with his listeners' expectations by incorporating several formal ambiguities that call into question the passages' true functional roles. This thesis presents a form-functional analysis of the first movement from Mahler's Symphony No. 4 with the goal of revealing the similarities and dissimilarities between its formal organization and that of classical works. The theoretical work of William E. Caplin informs the analytical methodology of this project, which centers primarily on an examination of formal functions, allowing for the consideration of musical syntax on various hierarchical levels. Ultimately, this project relies on the comparison of typical form-functional organization in classical instrumental works to the events of Mahler's movement with the aim of uncovering his predecessors' influence on the symphony while also revealing the work's relationship to the music of its time." --

Download or read book Perspectives on Gustav Mahler written by Jeremy Barham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Mahler's music continues to enjoy global prominence, both in live or recorded performance and within broader ranges of critical perception and cultural sensibility. In recognition of such a profile, this volume brings together a unique collection of essays exploring the diverse methods and topics characteristic of recent advances in Mahler scholarship. The book's international group of contributors is actively involved not only in bringing fresh approaches to Mahler research in areas such as analysis, sketch studies and reception history, but also in examining hitherto neglected issues of cultural and biographical interpretation, performance practice and compositional aesthetic, thereby illustrating the developing vitality and scope of this field. Engaging with its subject from reconstructive, documentary, theoretical, analytical, discursive and interpretative viewpoints, this volume provides a wide spectrum of contexts in which continuing debate about Mahler's life and works can flourish. Its varied themes and strategies nevertheless collectively recognize and negotiate the shifting space both between the composer's life and his artistic creativity, and between the musical results of that creativity and the critical-analytical process. The essays in this book accordingly fill certain gaps in the scholarly understanding of the composer, and re-orientate Mahler studies towards some of the central concerns of contemporary musicological thinking.
Download or read book Mahler written by Theodor W. Adorno and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor W. Adorno goes beyond conventional thematic analysis to gain a more complete understanding of Mahler's music through his character, his social and philosophical background, and his moment in musical history. Adorno examines the composer's works as a continuous and unified development that began with his childhood response to the marches and folk tunes of his native Bohemia. Since its appearance in 1960 in German, Mahler has established itself as a classic of musical interpretation. Now available in English, the work is presented here in a translation that captures the stylistic brilliance of the original. Theodor W. Adorno (1903-69), one of the foremost members of the Frankfurt school of critical theory, studied with Alban Berg in Vienna during the late twenties, and was later the director of the Institute of Social Research at the University of Frankfurt from 1956 until his death. His works include Aesthectic Theory, Introduction to the Sociology of Music, The Jargon of Authenticity, Prism, and Philosophy of Modern Music.

Download or read book Gustav Mahler s Symphony No 4 in the Chamber Version by Klaus Simon written by Junghwan Kwon and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symphonies of Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911) constitute an essential element of the orchestral repertory; they are therefore essential for young conductors to understand and for instrumentalists to play. Yet they are impractical in many school situations because they call for large orchestras. One solution to this problem is for the conductor to study the original, full version of the works as Mahler composed them, but to consider performing one of the reduced instrumentations now available. A smaller-scale version provides an opportunity for both the conductor and the instrumentalists to confront the challenges of performing Mahler's music and to explore Mahler's musical language and style in a more manageable setting. This project focuses on Mahler's Fourth Symphony, which is available in two reduced orchestrations: one by Erwin Stein made in 1921 and another by Klaus Simon from 2007. This paper is part of a larger project that includes a lecture-recital with commentary and a performance of the symphony in the more recent Simon arrangement (documented on video). It presents some background on Mahler's Fourth Symphony and compares the two reduced instrumentations to Mahler's original and to one another. Taken together, the parts of this project demonstrate an approach to learning and performing Mahler's music in a more accessible and practical setting for student conductors.

The global spread of the authors is matched by a series of chapters that document the global spread of the composer's own symphonies and song cycles, while hitherto unexplored areas of research receive attention, both places (such as London and Prague) and people (Mahler's only surviving and highly talented daughter--a sculptor--Anna. In short, a volume that draws on the best resources and most up-to-date information about the composer and will undoubtedly act as the authoritative guide for Mahler enthusiasts for years to come.
