“It is music that is full of human frailties,” Copland observes, “... so ‘Mahler-like’ in every detail. His symphonies are suffused with personality – he has his own way of doing and saying everything. The irascible scherzos, the heaven -storming calls in the brass, the special quality of his communings with nature, the gentle melancholy of a transitional passage, the gargantuan Ländler, the pages of an incredible loneliness... Two facets of his musicianship were years in advance of their time. One is the curiously contrapuntal fabric of the musical texture; the other more obvious, his strikingly original instrumentation.”

This second episode of our review of Gustav Mahler's complete symphonies is dedicated to the Sixth, written between 1903 and 1904, and described by his wife Alma in the following terms: “After [Gustav] had drafted the first movement, he came to tell me that he had tried to express me in one of the themes.  ‘I don't know if I've succeeded, but you'll have to put up with it’. This is the grandiose second theme of the first movement. In the third movement [the scherzo], he evoked the arhythmic games of the two youngest children as they tottered in zigzags across the sand."
