| Notes | In his first five symphonies Mahler, inspired by Lipiner's lecture, interpreted and worked with Lipiner's ideas of religious art and transcendence in various ways. While especially in the first one "a recognizable and believable symphonic manifestation of transcendence" is achieved by dramatically emphasising the opposition of catastrophe and fulfilment (which Adorno called "Zusammenbruch" (collapse) and "Durchbruch" (breakthrough)), in the Fourth and Fifth Mahler creates transcendence through humour and metamorphose. |
