Gustav Mahler

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist

Gustav Mahler was above all a conductor, for ten years among other things director of the Vienna Court Opera, and composed in the summers. He wanted a symphony to embrace a whole world and let folk songs, marches, sounds of nature and large choirs exist side by side. The Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony, for strings and harp, is regarded as a declaration of love to his wife Alma. Willem Mengelberg made the Concertgebouw Orchestra an early champion of his music.
