Mahler: Titan

Description

"Titan", the early five-movement version of the "Symphony No. 1", has never been published before. Universal Edition is proud to make this score available for the first time in connection with the Complete Critical Edition. Mahler composed the work at the beginning of 1888 in Leipzig. in 1889 it was subsequently premiered as a "symphonic poem" in Budapest.

This first edition of "Titan" contains the history of its genesis, reviews of the performances in Hamburg and Weimar, a discussion of the program and the underlying ideas behind the work, color prints of important sources, and an extensive critical commentary that describes the variants, problematic passages and all editorial interpolations.
