Adams once claimed that originality wasn't an urgent concern for him the way it was necessary for the minimalists, and compared his position to that of Gustav Mahler, J. S. Bach, and Johannes Brahms, who " were standing at the end of an era and were embracing all of the evolutions that occurred over the previous thirty to fifty years.

Trained by the great classical music composers Brahms and Mahler, he was one of the first composers who primarily wrote music for motion pictures, and as such is often referred to as " the father of film music ".

A child prodigy in composing, Steiner received piano instruction from Johannes Brahms and, at the age of sixteen, enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Music ( now known as the University of Music and Performing Arts ), where he was taught by Gustav Mahler among others.

The influence of Gustav Mahler was particularly innovational ; in his later symphonies, such as the mammoth Symphony No. 8, Mahler pushes the furthest boundaries of orchestral size, employing huge forces.

Altenberg was a contemporary of Karl Kraus, Gustav Mahler, Arthur Schnitzler, Gustav Klimt, and Adolf Loos, with whom he had a very close relationship.

The RAF was founded in 1970 by Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Horst Mahler, and Ulrike Meinhof.

Jan Carl Raspe had lived at the Kommune 2 ; Horst Mahler had been an established lawyer, but was also at the center of the anti-Springer revolt from the beginning.

During this time Adorno not only produced a significant series of notes on Beethoven ( which was never completed and only published posthumously ), but also published Mahler: A Musical Physiognomy in 1960.

The opera was profoundly influential among Western classical composers and provided inspiration to composers such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Karol Szymanowski, Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg.

On the other hand, Bruckner was greatly admired by subsequent composers, including his friend Gustav Mahler, who described him as " half simpleton, half God ".

His unfinished opera Die drei Pintos ( The Three Pintos ) was originally given by Weber's widow to Giacomo Meyerbeer for completion ; it was eventually completed by Gustav Mahler, who conducted the first performance in this form in Leipzig on 20 January 1888.

Also in vogue was a return to simplicity in orchestration and a transition from the great scale of the works of Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss.

In December 1972, Meinhof, who was awaiting trial, was called to testify at Horst Mahler's trial where Mahler questioned her about the statement of support the two had issued for the September 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

His influence was critical for the further development of Romanticism, especially in composers like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler and many others.

The work was closely studied by Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss and served as the foundation for a subsequent textbook by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who, as a music student, attended the concerts Berlioz conducted in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Gustav Mahler (; 7 July 1860 – 18 May 1911 ) was a late-Romantic Austrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation.

After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners ; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.

The International Gustav Mahler Institute was established in 1955, to honour the composer's life and work.

Many later performances of the opera were also successful, not only with the general public but also with Strauss's peers: Maurice Ravel said that Salome was " stupendous ", and Mahler described it as " a live volcano, a subterranean fire ".

His style incorporates his knowledge of early counterpoint but also the style of late Viennese romantics including Gustav Mahler, to whom he was introduced by Adler.

It lasts for approximately 10 minutes, and Mahler adds the instruction sehr langsam ( very slowly ).

This unresolved counterpoint has been interpreted as a conflict between the " Frère Jacques " theme's Catholic implications and the, Jewish klezmer qualities of the "" theme, thus alluding to a social conflict of which Mahler was very aware.

For his part Mahler described it simply as a depiction of " broad daylight " and the outrageously exuberant ending, with passing references to the very opening theme, seems to encapsulate the blazing brilliance of the noonday sun.

It has been used with reference to very late 19th century and early 20th century composers such as Gustav Mahler particularly by Carl Dahlhaus who uses it as synonymous with late Romanticism.

However, this notion is disputed inasmuch as Mahler felt that he was in good health at the time of the composition of the 9th Symphony ; he had had a very successful season ( 1909-1910 ) as the conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and, before that, the Metropolitan Opera ( New York ).

Mahler occasionally used a five-movement structure for his symphonies rather than the more traditional four-movement structure, and for the Tenth he devised a convincing symmetrical structure with two large slow movements enclosing a core of faster inner movements, at the very centre of which is the deceptive Purgatorio movement.

There is an annotation on the cover of the draft to the effect that in this movement " The Devil dances with me ", and at the very end Mahler wrote " Ah!

Mahler called Rott a musician of genius ... who died unrecognized and in want on the very threshold of his career.

In addition, while some very prominent composers ( e. g. Schubert, Dvořák, Bruckner, Mahler, and Vaughan Williams ) are regularly adduced as examples, the fact is that several of them are only credited with having " composed nine symphonies " as a result of error or oversimplification ( see below ).

" In his time Fuchs was very highly regarded, with one critic famously pointing to Fuchsisms in Mahler ’ s Second Symphony.

The writing very much carries with it the heritage of Richard Strauss ( although the influences of a number of other composers can be discerned-Gustav Mahler and Hugo Wolf for example, as well as Claude Debussy's harmonic palette in evidence in " Nacht "), through the expansiveness of gesture and ' opening of new vistas ,' and that of Richard Wagner.

Bertini's recording of the complete cycle of Mahler symphonies ( EMI Classics 40238 ) is very well regarded.

In seven movements for large orchestra ( including quadruple woodwind, a quartet of saxophones, 6 horns, 5 trumpets, harpsichord, two mandolins, two harps, organ, as well as a tenor soloist, a boys ' two-part choir and a double mixed chorus ), and lasting 75 minutes, this work clearly betrays the influence of Mahler. The inspirational origin of the work lay, however, in the simple act of walking along a very rocky and boulder-strewn shore at Loch Kishorn during his stay there in 1964, and observing the dense texture of rocks and vegetation which translated itself into a similar musical texture forming part of the first movement entitled " Vision of Nature ".

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.

Since Mahler himself never conducted the Ninth Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde, Walter's performances cannot be taken as documentations of Mahler's interpretations.

Looking at the programmes that he provided, one can see many connections between the song cycle and the symphony's programmatic elements, but then it must also be taken into consideration that Mahler later removed the programmes.

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.

Alma Mahler, who had at one point taken the views of Bruno Walter to heart and demanded a veto on further performances of the Cooke performing version, actually changed her mind upon seeing Cooke's revised score and hearing the recording.

It was taken over again, this time in 1993 by the entrepreneur Andrew Mahler, who invested over £ 1m in the building in improvements and refurbishments.
