Description

This is the third volume of de La Grange's monumental study of the life and music of Gustav Mahler, one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Forty years of research and a vast array of documentary material are here co-ordinated into the definitive study of this supremely gifted musician. This volume, covering the years 1904-1907, shows Mahler in his final years at the Hofoper coping with the rival demands on his energy and creative powers of the Opera on the one hand and his continuing struggle for recognition as composer in his own right. It describes the tragic events of 1907, Mahlers last year in Vienna: the death of his daughter Putzi, the crisis which led him to leave the Opera, and the alarming medical diagnosis which made him cut down on much loved physical activities, at least for a time.
