Double-weighted statement
This book is the first single-authored, one-volume study of Mahler’s complete output to be published in English in over 25 years. It draws together detailed original readings of Mahler’s songs and symphonies with historical and aesthetic discussion informed by a familiarity with the vast secondary literature on Mahler, Viennese modernism, musical aesthetics and the history of the symphony, much of it in German. The resulting 140,000 word monograph re-evaluates the historical significance of Mahler’s music by using it to challenge central assumptions about musical modernism, authenticity, and the idea of musical voice.
