Alban Berg referred to the first movement of the Ninth Symphony as the most glorious [Mahler] ever wrote, and further observed, the whole movement is based on a premonition of death which constantly recurs ... that is why the tenderest passages are followed by tremendous climaxes like new eruptions of a volcano.\u003cbr\u003eNow the full orchestral score of the Ninth Symphony is available in the inexpensive, high-quality edition, reprinted from an authoritative Viennese score. Music lovers and admirers of Mahler's work will find in these pages abundant evidence of the fresh and formidable thinking the composer brought to this monumental composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote chiefly symphonies and \u003ci\u003eLieder. \u003c\/i\u003eLate Romantic in style, his tempestuous works reflect the anxious mood of Europe at the turn of the 20th century.
