Homage has been paid to Weber by 20th century composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky, Mahler ( who completed Weber's unfinished comic opera Die drei Pintos and made revisions of Euryanthe and Oberon ) and Hindemith ( composer of the popular Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber ).

Figures such as Shostakovich, Schoenberg, and Britten ( all of whom had been considerably influenced by the works of Mahler ), refused, and instead the task was taken up by musicologists: early attempts at realising the entire work were made in America by Clinton Carpenter ( completed 1949, subsequently revised 1966 ), in Germany by Hans Wollschläger ( 1954 – 1962, withdrawn ), and in England by Joe Wheeler ( 1953 – 1965 ) and Deryck Cooke.

Some conductors, notably Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, Michael Tilson Thomas, Rafael Kubelík and Claudio Abbado have chosen to perform and record just the Adagio, since they interpret it as the only movement completed by Mahler himself.

Mahler was aware of the so-called " curse of the Ninth ", the fact that no major composer since Beethoven had successfully completed more than nine symphonies before dying.

Mahler appears to have begun composing the songs in December 1884 and to have completed them in 1885.

Even Bruckner ( with whom Mahler had been closely associated ) fails to qualify: Bruckner died before completing the work that is now played as his ( unfinished ) " Ninth Symphony ", with the result that his symphonic total is eight if only the completed canonical works are counted -- and ten if the list includes the early F minor Symphony and the D minor Symphony now known as " No. 0 " -- both of them withdrawn by the composer.

The first and longest movement is a slow movement in rough sonata form ; the second a fast scherzo with syncopated rhythms and endlessly furious semiquaver passages ; the third a moderate dance-like suite of Mahlerian Nachtmusik-or Nocturne, which is what Shostakovich called it ; and the fourth a slow andante ( again heavily influenced by Mahler ) that suddenly changes into a fast finale that has the pace of a doom-laden Gopak.

As a result, a great deal of literature, including writing by ETA Hoffman, Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner and Gustav Mahler, placed his work at the pinnacle of what they were trying to achieve in music.

Leonard Ratner has commented: " The restless, unresolved dissonances of Nuages gris the isolated figures, the sense of alienation — these have a clear affinity with the somewhat later expressionism of the Viennese composers Mahler and Schoenberg .... gris is a musical bellwether that indicated what was happening and what would happen in European music: sound, with the assistance of symmetry, would take over, harmony would be absorbed into color and lose its cadential function.

Mahler adopted him as a protégé and continued to support him even after Schoenberg's style reached a point which Mahler could no longer understand ; Mahler worried about who would look after him after his death.

However, it was frequently performed on its own before then, chiefly because in the early 20th century music programmers did not believe whole Mahler symphonies would be acceptable to audiences.

These programmatic notes were dropped starting with the 1896 performance in Berlin, because Mahler did not want that the audience would be misled by such notes and their inherent ambiguities.

"; 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.

* Someday, some real friends of Mahler's will ... take a pruning knife and reduce his works to the length that they would have been if the composer had not stretched them out of shape ; and then the great Mahler war will be over ...

Musically speaking and as seen in Mahler, certain themes ( such as the Mussolini theme ) would return ( such as the Berlusconi theme ), whether first as tragedy and then as tragic and murderous farce ( where the farce of the Second Empire produced the unspoken yet real tragedy of the slaughter of the working class in Paris of 1870, one unmentioned and unmourned because the victims are unfashionable today ), or as in the case of Mussolini and Berlusconi, as a recurrence of opera buffa.

On December 14, while the Falcons were still statistically alive in their quest for the playoffs, Mora said during a radio interview with Dave " Softy " Mahler and former Huskies teammate / roommate Hugh Millen on Seattle sports-talk radio station KJR-AM that if it were offered, he would take the head coaching job at the University of Washington ( a job that was not open ), " even if Falcons were in a playoff run.

# 1893, Hamburg – The base layer in Mahler's hand corresponds to the final version of the Budapest manuscript, and probably was the manuscript sent by Mahler to Schott as a ( engraver's copy ) in 1891 in hopes of publication, and for the first time given a title: ( From the Life of a Lonely-one ).
