Relationship to Beethoven's Symphony no. 4

Today while rehearsing with one of the orchestras I play in, the conductor mentioned that Mahler was inspired by the opening to Beethoven 4 and that it was his starting point for his first symphony. Now that it has been pointed out to me, it seems terribly obvious and certainly appears to have some truth to it, but "my professor said..." is not exactly a verifiable source. I think it would be great for this article if someone could help me dig up a real source for this and include it in the article somehow. Sara needs a nap (talk) 01:58, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to remember reading an article in some sort of 'Mahler Studies' volume in which someone (de la Grange?) includes the Beethoven opening among a whole collection of resemblances and relations: if my memory is correct, and someone can remember what the book is, you would have your source. Even so, however, it would still be inadmissible to say that the relationship made the Beethoven work 'Mahler's starting point for his symphony': such a way of speaking goes beyond the facts.

Somehow, because of the pitch level perhaps, and the prominent descending fourths, my thoughts were rather with Beethoven's Ninth; but that needs a source just as badly. Double sharp (talk) 10:49, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

new audio sample

second movement (excerpt)

We now have a new audio sample available – should we use it instead of the virtual ones? --Gnom (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Misprint in score excerpt

In the section on the third movement, the 2nd score excerpt (the one invoking klezmerish-sound folk music) begins with a misprint. It currently reads as a two-voice chord consisting of D and F-sharp, when it should be D and F (natural), i.e. a minor 3rd. 2601:18F:781:4A50:34F8:2802:AC50:484F (talk) 19:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
