From the Publisher

Mahler: The 9 Symphonies

Mahler once said, ''The symphony is the world; it must contain everything.'' And his symphonies certainly did.They are considered amongst the greatest works in all the classical repertoire. Dover Publications proudly publishes all 9 symphonies completed by Mahler; His Tenth Symphony was left incomplete – only the first movement was performable in way that Mahler intended, the rest was complete, but only as a sketch.

Mahler: Symphonies 1-6

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 In Full Score

Symphony No. 1 in D Major ("Titan"), and Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, ("Resurrection") The second was the first major work that established Mahler's lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. It was voted the fifth-greatest symphony of all time in a survey of conductors carried out by the BBC Music Magazine. (0486254739)

Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 In Full Score

Includes Symphony No. 3, which Mahler said describes ‘all stages of evolution in a step-wise ascent. It begins with inanimate nature and ascends to the love of God,’ and Symphony No. 4, with its exquisite final movement in which a soprano describes a child’s naïve vision of heaven (0486261662)

Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 In Full Score

Symphony No. 5 contains the famous "Adagietto," (4th Movement), Mahler's love letter to his new bride, Alma and Symphony No.6 "Tragic," is known for its "three hammer blows of fate" (0486268888)

Mahler: Symphonies 7-9

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Mahler Symphonies Orchestral

Symphony No. 7 In Full Score

Also nicknamed the "Song Of The Night, " two of the symphonies five movements are entitled Nachtmusik I and II (0486273393)

Symphony No. 8 In Full Score

A massive symphonic spectacle often referred to as the "Symphony of a Thousand;" the 1910 premiere of the work required 858 singers – including eight vocal soloists, two mixed choruses and a children’s choir – and 171 instrumentalists. (0486260224)

Symphony No. 9 In Full Score

Mahler's last fully completed symphony; Leonard Bernstein speculated that the entire final movement is symbolically prophesying three kinds of death: Mahler's own impending death, the death of tonality, and the death of "Faustian" culture in all the arts.(0486274926)

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Often regarded as the last great composer in the Austro-Germanic tradition, Gustave Mahler (1860-1911) exerted a major influence on 20th-century music; his later work in particular affected the musical ideas of such composers as Arnold Schoenberg, Dimitri Shostakovich, Alban Berg, and Benjamin Britten.
While his mature work foreshadowed radical elements of modern music--particularly the dissolution of tonality--Mahler's first symphonies were written in a relatively traditional programmatic style with a strong spiritual element. These early works are seen by some critics as attempting to establish some ultimate ground for existence in the face of pain, death, doubt, and despair. The composer's spiritual quest, as well as the vivid orchestration, innovative symphonic structure, and rich emotional expression that characterized his music can be clearly studied and appreciated in this volume, which contains complete scores of Mahler's first two symphonies.
Of the Symphony No. 1 in D Major (Titan), the Encyclopaedia Britannica notes, The program of the purely orchestral Symphony No. 1 in D Major ... is autobiographical of his youth; the joy of life becomes clouded over by an obsession with death in the macabre Funeral March in the Manner of Callot (basically a parody of popular music), which is eventually routed in the arduous and brilliant finale.
Of Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, (Resurrection), Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians states: Symphony II is a good example of all Mahler's works ... scored nearly always heavily for a large orchestra, restless and stormy in places, monumentally exalted in others.
Now both works are available in this handsome, inexpensive edition, reproduced directly from the original editions published by Josef Weinberger in Vienna in 1897 and 1899. Beautifully printed with wide margins and clear noteheads, this edition of the symphonies offers an unparalleled resource for studying and enjoying the seminal works of a modern master.

My son is a composer and loves to receive scores for birthdays and holidays. This Christmas he was gifted Gustav Mahler: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 in Full Score. It was his favorite gift of the holidays. The moment he opened it he poured over every page and drank in the notes on the pages. He said it was an awesome score as not all are done as well. Very happy with purchase.

Went to see the Portland Symphony play the second this weekend. The stage crew brought a copy of this very edition of the score to the podium before the conductor came out, I could see the cover. Good enough for the pros! Lies flat, is very easy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dover is the best
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2008

There is nothing special about the Mahler score in particular, aside for the fact that it is a masterpiece like all of Mahler's works. I discovered Dover Orchestral Scores when in college years ago. The were new to the market back then, but they provided a better alternative to those expensive mini-scores we were forced to use. For students learning about composers and their styles, learning and practicing conducting, and even for individual players trying to learn how their part fits in with the entire orchestra, Dover has consistently delivered a quality product at a price every music students can afford. The print is large, clear and accurate, and easy to read, just right to go on a music stand allowing you to play along

5.0 out of 5 stars It has everything necessary
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2011
Verified Purchase
I received the score 2-3 weeks ago. I can absolutely say that it's a must have, having read all the score and listened to both masterpieces once again while following it on the sheet music. Everything's clear, perfectly printed and at an unexpected price. There's nothing unnecessary that might confuse the musician, and everything necessary (as I said above) is in it.

But well, if you don't know German, you'd better have a dictionary while reading the score in detail :) (I guess the notes are originally by Mahler. After all, if you're curious about the issue, the preface gives info about the edition.)

Page 94 is followed by page 101.

I believe this is for my copy only.
I found the problem before I can return.
I'm waiting for a replacement copy.
I recommend checking the page sequence before the return window is closed.
I think they should send a replacement copy even after the return window expires.

These scores are excellently printed and easy to read when following along with a recording. I will eventually add all the Mahler symphonies in score to my collection along with other composers also. If anyone with the ability to read a score would be interested, I would highly recommend this printed series.

I freely admit to being a great fan of Dover Publications, so I'm biased straight away!
Why do I like them? Their orchestral scores are superb; clearly printed and well-bound, with notes regarding original and revised editions.
A definite 5 star rating, and all at a reasonable price compared to similar offerings from other publishers.
