| Summary |
"Using a wealth of documentary material, this book reconstructs the 24 year relationship between Mahler and Strauss through collage--'a meaning that arises from fragments', to borrow Adorno's characterization of Mahler's Sixth Symphony. Fourteen different topics, all of central importance to the life and work of the two composers, provide distinct vantage points from which to view both their professional and personal relationships."--Provided by publisher. |
