After receiving a New York medical license, Schönberger Mahler set up private practice in a basement and began to rebuild her clientele.

The start of the ' Mahler boom ' in the early 1960s, when the works of Gustav Mahler began to enter the regular British repertoire for the first time, was a tremendous creative impetus for both of them ; but though they have sometimes collaborated as arrangers ( for instance in orchestrating seven early Mahler songs ) and editors ( in the published version of Deryck Cooke's ' performing version ' of the draft of Mahler's Tenth Symphony ), as composers they have very much gone their separate ways.

Mahler began work on his next group of Wunderhorn settings in 1892.

He worked steadily on the score until 1935, when the death of Manon Gropius, the daughter of Walter Gropius and Alma Mahler, prompted him to break off work to write his Violin Concerto.

Mahler wrote of this movement: " The increasing tension, working up to the final climax, is so tremendous that I don ’ t know myself, now that it is over, how I ever came to write it.

Arnold Schönberg famously expressed the opinion that no one could possibly write a Tenth Symphony without being close to the hereafter ( see Curse of the ninth ); and a mistaken report led Richard Specht to suggest Mahler wanted the manuscript burned after his death.

Mahler did not live to perform his Das Lied von der Erde or Symphony No. 9, but his widow, Alma Mahler, asked Walter to premiere both.

Mahler composed " Das himmlische Leben " as a free-standing piece in 1892.

While motifs from " Das himmlische Leben " are found in the Third symphony, Mahler eventually decided not to include it in that work and, instead, made the song the goal and source of his Fourth Symphony.

"; the second movement is a remembrance of happy times in the life of the deceased ; the third movement represents a view of life as meaningless activity ; the fourth movement is a wish for release from life without meaning ; and the fifth movement – after a return of the doubts of the third movement and the questions of the first – ends with a fervent hope for everlasting, transcendent renewal, a theme that Mahler would ultimately transfigure into the music of his Das Lied von der Erde.
