Hi Alex! What a coincidence that your alias contains the name "Alma"!
Alma was the name of Mahler's wife. Alma Schindler Mahler
By the way, here is a youtube clip of his
first symphony last movement!
Here at start of this very energetic finale of a young Mahler, you can clearly hear what the famous Dmitrij Schostakovich has used in his fifth symphony nr 5. Also a finale movement.
At exact 9:28 minutes into the Schosta symphony you can hear a typical Mahler sound!
Well! I love Schosta a lot... I'm not trying to throw shit on Shosta... it's just fun to hear how strong Mahler's influence has been!
Regards,
Fred
