Mahler Entries - Prologue
I’ve spent the last few months immersed in Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, in preparation for a concert in a few weeks with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. It amazes me that I’m actually going to conduct this piece soon — it’s something I’ve dreamed of doing for a long time. I’ve been trying to figure out how to share this experience on the blog. I could go on and on, but I’ve never been into reading long blog posts (or writing them). So I’ve decided to do a series of “Mahler Entries,” which will be a collection of experiences I’ve had with the piece. I hope it will get people excited about the work. I personally couldn’t imagine what my life would be life without it.
