Thanks Romanticist,
Finally someone that cares about facts...
The Mahler society in Vienna will assist us in sorting out the details!
Usually, when I start an investigation like the one I'm actually going to start, the administrators of where the thread is will delete the evidences! Just wait and see! (Ironic lol!)
Meaning that... when I'm about to get the real final facts, the page you are reading right now will be deleted
just wait and see everybody!!
I want to add that I have listened a lot to Mahler's symphonies to know that some of the episodes in Schosta's symphonies are very Mahlerian indeed...!
Here is a little cold snack before the hot dishes arrive!
an episode from the famous Dmitrij Schostakowitsch biography by
Solomon Volkow:
"Schostakowitsch hatte die ausssterbende Form der Symphonie wiederbelebt; für ihn war sie die ideale Form, Gefühle und Gedanken, die ihn bewegten, zum Ausdruck zu bringen. In der Fünften verarbeitete er auch die Einflüsse der Komponisten Strawinskij, Prokovfjew und vor allem Gustav Mahlers, um zu seinem eigenen, unnachahmlichen, individuellen Stil zu gelangen."
from "Die Memoiren des Dmitrij Schostakowitsch" - Every word in this biography was approved by the composer who also wrote his own signature in it!
