Mahler Symphony No. 1 (Part 1)

This week on Sticky Notes, we dive headlong into one of the boldest statements ever made by a young composer with Gustav Mahler's massive first symphony.  It's so massive that I had to split the show into two parts!  This week, we talk a lot about Mahler's early life and the early genesis of this masterpiece.  Then we take a detailed look at the first two movements of the symphony and its depictions of nature, silence, creation, joy, fear, and celebration.  Thanks so much for listening!
