Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) composed his 3rd Symphony in 1893-6 while he was chief conductor at the Hamburg Stadttheater. It was premiered in Krefeld, Germany in 1902. Mahler gave each movement a programmatic title, although these were only shared with friends:
A Summer's Midday Dream
Part One
Introduction: Pan awakens.
1. Summer marches in (Bacchic procession)
Part Two
2. What the flowers of the meadow tell me
3. What the animals of the forest tell me
4. What man tells me
5. What the angels tell me
6. What love tells me
Mahler also described the piece as 'a major work, liberally reflecting the whole world - one is oneself only, as it were, an instrument played by the whole universe... In it Nature herself acquires a voice and tells secrets so profound that they are perhaps glimpsed only in dreams!' The third movement is derived from Mahler's song 'Ablösung im Sommer', a setting of a text from Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Mahler draws on the Wunderhorn for the text of the fifth movement, here presented either for choirs and soloist, or in Mahler's own version for soprano solo. He considered adding a seventh movement, the Wunderhorn setting 'Wir geniessen die himmlischen Freuden', which ended up as the last movement of his Fourth Symphony.
An arrangement for solo piano of Mahler's work brings the music close to its compositional origins. In each one of his composing 'huts', Mahler had a piano at his disposal. His sketches are often on two or three staves of music, and can be read directly on the piano. Mahler often played his latest works on the piano to friends and colleagues, and his early training as a pianist left him with a good virtuoso technique. By performing the music in this way, it enabled the first listeners to hear the melodies and harmonies unadorned.
Mahler also 'recorded' some of his music onto piano rolls: the first movement of the 5th symphony, the last movement of the 4th symphony and several songs. These demonstrate Mahler's 'orchestral' piano technique, full in texture and tone, carrying the general sweep and drama of the music.
This solo piano arrangement of Symphony No. 3 is not just a literal transcription of the notes onto two staves, but a transformation into pianistic texture of the full sonic landscape. Hearing Mahler's music in this way allows us to take in the content as 'pure' music. In Mahler's lifetime, piano duet versions of the Symphonies were published, but very few for solo piano. This arrangement allows one player the opportunity to perform and study them.
My favourite.
Thank you for all the hard work.
You know Mahler would love these arrangements
He really would lol
I think it's pointless to speculate on what a long dead composer would have liked. And as much as I love these arrangements, they are no substitute for the orchestral originals nor are they meant to be. And Mahler's short scores are NOT piano scores that were awaiting orchestration. Mahler conceived his symphonies for orchestra from his first sketches, frequently with notations for the intended instrumentation that the composer had in mind.
@@remomazzetti8757 Oh Jesus
@@remomazzetti8757 My point was simply, these arrangements really do the symphonies justice. I don’t think anyone is saying they match the actual symphonies, or that we really know what Mahler would think. You made my eyes roll so hard I think you broke them
Farrington dependence. True genius. Top of the top
Great transcription and one his most marvelous pieces!
You are true genius... You realized me how beautiful this masterpiece was again...
Heavenly arrangement and playing
Bravo... maravilloso.
I adore these arrangements!! A while back I purchased your arrangement of Mahler 10! Will you upload that recording?
Thanks! Yes, that one should be uploaded quite soon.
As an amateur , but enthusiastic pianist, I like to play relatively short medium difficult pieces.
For example Bach's second prelude and fugue and Debussy's Arabesque #1.
My dream is a suitable arrangement of the main themes of Mahler's 3:6 (hint).
Faltan unos toques Lizstianos pero fuera de eso, es una magnifica transcripción para piano. De hecho, espere mucho tiempo, desde que oí la versión original interpretada por Haitink.
i want to buy this arranged score.

Les petites notes de "remplissage" gâchent tout et sont profondément à contresens.
the piano simply does not have enough sustain for the bass notes without the filling. Also they at least make the performance pianistic.
I disagree: Mr. Farrington states clearly that these arrangements are re-interpretations in pianistic terms. And I think they work beautifully.
@@cziffra-eg9st And that is simply not true. I play these on my piano without the filling notes and it works just fine on the piano. You just have to be carefull to keep the ones that Mahler actually wrote in.
