- Gustav Mahler:
Symphony No. 4 (with Score)
Composed: 1900-01
Soprano: Christine Whittlesey
Conductor: Michael Gielen
Orchestra: SWR Symphonieorchester
00:00 1. Bedächtig, nicht eilen (G major)
17:00 2. In gemächlicher Bewegung, ohne Hast (C minor)
27:33 3. Ruhevoll, poco adagio (G major)
48:25 4. Wir geniessen die Himmlischen Freuden. Sehr behaglich (G major - E major)
The Symphony No. 4 in G major by Gustav Mahler was composed from 1899 to 1900, though it incorporates a song originally written in 1892. That song, "Das himmlische Leben", presents a child's vision of heaven and is sung by a soprano in the symphony's Finale. Both smaller in orchestration and shorter in length than Mahler's earlier symphonies, the Fourth Symphony was initially planned to be in six movements, alternating between three instrumental and three vocal movements. The symphony's final form-begun in July 1899 at Bad Aussee and completed in August 1900 at Maiernigg-retains only one vocal movement (the Finale) and is in four movements: Bedächtig, nicht eilen (sonata form); In gemächlicher Bewegung, ohne Hast (scherzo and trio); Ruhevoll, poco adagio (double theme and variations); and Sehr behaglich (strophic variations).
The premiere was performed in Munich on 25 November 1901 by the composer and the Kaim Orchestra, but it was met with negative audience and critical reception over the work's confusing intentions and perceived inferiority to the more well-received Second Symphony. The premiere was followed by a German tour, a 1901 Berlin premiere, and a 1902 Vienna premiere, which were met with near-unanimous condemnation of the symphony. Mahler conducted further performances of the symphony, sometimes to warm receptions, and the work received its American and British premieres in 1904 and 1905. The symphony's first edition was published in 1902, but Mahler made revisions in 1905, 1910, and 1911. After Mahler's death, the symphony continued to receive performances under conductors such as Willem Mengelberg and Bruno Walter, and its first recording is a 1930 Japanese rendition conducted by Hidemaro Konoye that is also the first electrical recording of any Mahler symphony. The musicologist Donald Mitchell believes the Fourth and its accessibility were largely responsible for the post-war rise in Mahler's popularity.
The symphony uses cyclic form throughout its structure, such as in the anticipations of the Finale's main theme in the previous three movements. The first movement has been characterized as neoclassical in style, save for its complex development section. The second movement consists of scherzos depicting Death at his fiddle, which are contrasted with Ländler-like trios. The third movement's two themes are varied alternately before reaching a triple forte coda, and the Finale comprises verses from "Das himmlische Leben" sung in strophes that are separated by refrains of the first movement's opening. Certain themes and motifs in the Fourth Symphony are also found in Mahler's Second, Third, and Fifth Symphonies. - เพลง
Fantastic indeed ! Thank you for the score aswell, I really like these symphonies.
Dude, are you a Mahler fan
It's so interesting to me how Mahler makes his pieces so accessible to the senses. Maybe it's just the bells, but this one is exactly what I imagine winter sounds like.
Yo this is literally what I imagine Summer sounding like 😅.
No way this is what I imagine spring sounding like 😂
I think this just speaks to the grandeur of Mahler, that three people perceive this symphony as three completely different seasons, yet we are all equally appreciative of the music.
Cheers!
I think Mahler was imagining Summer since he wrote it during summer, and when explaining the piece he described it as being sunny. “But sometimes the atmosphere darkens and grows strangely terrifying, Not that the sky itself clouds over: it goes on shining with its everlasting blue. But we suddenly become afraid of it, just as on a beautiful day in the sun-dappled forest one is often overcome by a panic terror.” He also said that the opening bells weren't sleigh bells but Till Eulenspiegel bells, whatever that is.
The first and the fourth Mahler symphonies are the most romantic symphonies of all Mahler cycle, and the most comprehensive to all the people who are engaged with this genius. If you know the music in your head, it is very easy to follow the entire score. THANKS FOR POSTING.
The 4th is obviously neoclassical
my favourite mahler symphony
While the 3rd is my favorite, I also have to agree. I can call this my "Summertime Symphony" if I could because the overall playfulness of the work reminds me of going on walks during the summer. Imagine.
AW YEAH!!!!! This, 5, 8, 2, and 3 are my top 5 symphonies by Mahler. Didn't notice this was uploaded just 4 hours ago. This symphony makes me feel not only like summer has come to my home, it also makes me smile every time. I remember listening to it in my 8th grade language arts class two years ago and this having a profound effect, especially the Fourth Movement and First movement. I then listened to the full symphony last year in my freshman year Language Arts class while reading. This makes me feel cozy inside, and I (currently writing out sketches for my first symphony hoping that it might be my actual first after going through so many) am being highly inspired by Mahler's works. This is one of them. I could imagine one of the flute themes dancing with the Timpani in the finale of my symphony and everything 😂.
I hope you can do the symphony. I've been working on one symphony too. Good luck
@@orlandocascalho thank you so much man. And I hope you are doing well on yours too.
Good for you, just make sure not to die at your 10th symphony.
@@alixx_legenddark_xx2819 facts 💀
Thx for the sugestions
Interesting what Mahler writes on the trumpets at 10:15. He uses that motive to the famous opening bars of his 5th symphony
Like Mahler, I used to live next to an Austrian army barracks, so I think I know where he got that motif from. It's the Flag Salute of the Austrian army (and in Mahler's time, the Austro-Hungarian army). It's what the trumpet plays every morning when the flag is paraded.

Finally, I get this fantastic score! Thanks so much
Will you be uploading all of Mahler’s symphonies or just the ones with no score videos?
Well since there is another Mahler score video of the Resurrection, he might as well be on the quest of uploading all of the composer's symphonic works lol. Wonder if he WILL upload the 3rd 🤔
@@DavidD-KingWolf65 hopefully! Truly looking forward to that trombone solo in the first movement!
@@AP47735 yeah I hope so too lol. And I am a trombonist lol 😆.
