Appreciation of Mahler's Ninth Symphony
Walter said, more from the "farewell" level to understand, I am inclined to Schoenberg here to evaluate the whole work. Schoenberg said, in the whole of the works of Mahler convey is completely subjective feeling, "it looks as if it is a hidden author, who took Mahler only as a mouthpiece to use it". What Schoenberg refers to is the incarnation behind Mahler, not only the "farewell" that Walter speaks, but the deeply immersed emotion is consistent with the first movement. Mahler was waiting for the arrival of the stealth, and watched it disappear -- it is youth, broken love spell out a boy to wake up in the night before the portrait and face, was last night if not coming from general blanking.
The second works and third movements were considered to be a combination of humor -- a waltz and a grotesque it can be said that Mahler's introspective chapters, ridicule and anger for themselves immersed in deep magic beauty. The theme of the second movement, featuring the characteristics of country music, is played by Clarinet and bassoon, which extends the theme of the first movement, but has been shown to come from illusion to reality. The two and "daydream" has nothing to do with the rapid movement, through the counterpoint and presto, finally returned to the fourth movement in the kingdom of gentle melody. Bruno Walter wrote in "Gustav Mahler" in the book, the movement from the beginning like a violin, forming a huge absorption system, the other music into this system, and finally disappeared in the endless echo of silence, just like disappear in the "blue sky"
Beside the draft of the first movement, Muller marked the words "lost youth" and "dispersed love" with words. Bruno Walter, his pupil, believes that the first movement is "wandering in the sorrow of parting and the reverie of the glory of the kingdom of heaven"". The "reverie" here is Mahler's meditation on the love of youth and broken - Mahler smells of death flying from the sky in the smell of death. Mahler on his "laissez faire" and "addiction" is also here, even if the "death", "night" with great extension force approximation, almost pinch points seconds, the sharp fingertips resting on the body of Mahler -- he was in the forest as a teenager, in a spring night by Ze fog a light, said Geman language has nothing to do with his experience, more importantly, in the Mahler illusion, about stillborn daughter caught a glimpse of the shadow, the shadow in the past asked, a magic beauty and affection to Lang and Mahler loved the shadow for a composite -- this is sound wipe the demise of the sound ringing in the ears of the moment, just like the Earl was not obey God's commandments Pu, only to let the back see the shadow curled up and disappear, thus forming a huge hole.
