Mahler: Symphony No. 6 GMW 46

Composer: Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Instrumentation: Orchestra Work: Symphony No. 6 in A Minor (1906) Binding: Paperback ISMN: 9790004215333 Size: 10.6 x 14.2 inches Pages: 324 Urtext / Critical Edition Description "The path that my work will take in the coming years depends on the accuracy of the instrumental parts." This demand that Mahler made of C. F. Kahnt, the first publisher of the Sixth Symphony, he also made of himself. The premiere parts, which he collated down to the smallest detail, bear eloquent witness to this. Just why has their content never been evaluated for an edition? The fact that the "Tragic" is now available in such an impressively well-edited form is thanks to the editors, who took seriously what was so important to Mahler. This edition dispels numerous myths, misinterpretations and misunderstandings, freeing the music text from traditional errors and providing the necessary transparency in the revision report. with their practical orientation, the Mahler editions from Breitkopf & Härtel set new standards.
