Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Among the most popular of Mahler's symphonic works, the 7th symphony has neither a program nor a folk-song theme. It is a purely instrumental composition, both hopeful and romantic in feeling. The restrained mood and thematic economy of the symphony make it one of the least extravagant of the composer's works; it is also one of the most approachable. Now music lovers can study this edition of the complete score, reprinted from the authoritative German edition of 1909./ Répertoire / Orchestre
