Today, more than ever, Gustav Mahler is highly acclaimed as a 'pioneer of new music'. Unlike any other composer in the late 19th century, he meteorically became the focus of attention of the musical public. Mahler's music is an adventure, as beautiful and frightening, as peaceful and unpredictable as the world of which it is about. During his lifetime, Gustav Mahler was known rather as a powerful court opera director and less as a composer, for he could compose his own works only during the summer months. But as such, Mahler had to compete with his fellow composers Anton Bruckner and Richard Strauss. In his newly edited book, Karl-Josef Müller tries to examine this discrepancy between Mahler's high ethical demands as a composer and his qualification by his environment.
Zu Lebzeiten war Gustav Mahler eher als mächtiger Hofoperndirektor und weniger als Komponist bekannt, denn eigene Werke konnte er nur während der Sommermonate komponieren. Als solcher musste sich Mahler jedoch mit seinen Zeitgenossen Anton Bruckner und Richard Strauss messen. Diese Diskrepanz zwischen Mahlers hohem ethischen Anspruch als Komponist und seiner Qualifizierung durch die Umwelt versucht Karl-Josef Müller in seinem neu aufgelegten Buch zu beleuchten.
