It examines the symphony from several perspectives: Mahler's struggle to create what he called the New Symphony; his innovative approaches to traditional musical form; how he addressed the daunting challenges of writing music on a monumental scale; and how he dealt with the ineluctable force of Beethoven's symphonic precedent, especially that of the Ninth Symphony. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe central focus of \u003cem\u003eInside Mahler's Second Symphony\u003c\/em\u003e is on the music itself: how it works, how it works its magic on the listener, how it translates the earnest existential concerns that motivate the symphony into powerful and highly expressive music. Beyond this, the book ushers the Listener's Guide into the digital age with 185 dedicated audio examples. They are brief, accessible, and arranged to flow from one to another to simulate how the symphony might be presented in a classroom discussion. Each movement is also presented uninterrupted, accompanied by light annotations to remind the reader of what they learned about the movement. Each musical event in the uninterrupted presentation is keyed to its location in the orchestral score to accommodate readers who may wish to refer to one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn innovative combination of in-depth analysis and multimedia exploration, \u003cem\u003eInside Mahler's Second Symphony\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable introduction to a masterpiece of the symphonic repertoire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLawrence F.
