Symphony No. 4 In G Major For Soprano And Orchestra (Dover Miniature Music Scores)

Mahler's Fourth Symphony ranks among the most beloved of his symphonic works and marks a distinct turning point in his approach to composition. It was here that he developed in its most sophisticated guise the idea of the "programme." In this case, the poetic idea is the progress from experience (the first movement) to the utterly innocent, childlike vision of Paradise — the exquisitely serene vocal setting of the poem "Das himmlische Leben" (The Heavenly Life).Reproduced from the original Viennese edition — with bar-numbered movements for easier reference — this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume is ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall and will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.

I was looking for this somewhat hard to find score for my collection...and with some avid searching, I found and purchased it. With all of the scores I have, I already knew what to expect and the condition of the book itself was fine. Seeing that I'm going to make full use of it with markings of all sorts, as long as the book isn't trashed, I'm ok with the condition of it. The 4th is not the most popular of Mahler symphonies, but I always enjoy all of his work(s), regardless of the content. Thanks for helping me locate the score! :D
