Mahler and death


The history of the reception of Gustav Mahler's works is rich in references to his apparently intense preoccupation with death. Indeed, many of his songs and the majority of his symphonies are dedicated to the theme of transience - be it through texts, programmatic elements or purely musical allusions. But what lies behind this central aspect of his artistic work? What does it reveal about Mahler's personality and the nature of his compositions?
