Event Description
Mahler’s Third Symphony contains multitudes. When the monumental score was almost finished, he predicted that it would be “something the like of which the world has never yet heard! In it the whole of nature finds a voice.” As its creator, he was both god and unconscious instrument “played on by the universe.”
