1Mahler
2confused. The third symphony, written in F, is called the Naturleben Symphony. It is pantheistic in idea. The fourth symphony, brought out in 1901; the fifth, or D minor symphony, entitled Riesensymphonie, and the sixth, which appeared in 1906, are his other compositions in this form of music. They are all thoroughly German in character; their chief excellence lies in broadness and simplicity in theme and an intense richness of treatment. Mahler's elaborateness of orchestration is at times almost overwhelming. Two other important compositions are the Humoresken for orchestra, and the cantata, Das klagende Lied. As a man Mahler is quiet and studious and most modest concerning his own compositions, but full of unfailing energy and enthusiasm. Comparatively a young man, he is one of those of whom the musical world expects further development.
