  Alma Mahler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alma Maria Mahler (August 31, 1879 – December 11, 1964), noted in her native Vienna for her beauty and intelligence, was the wife, successively, of one of the century's leading composers (Gustav Mahler), architects (Walter Gropius), and novelists (Franz Werfel).
With him, she had two daughters, Maria Anna (1902-1907), who died of scarlet fever or diphtheria, and Anna (1904-1988) who later became a sculptor.
Mahler had a single consultation with Dr. Sigmund Freud as to the causes for his dissatisfied relationship.

 INKPOT#55 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.7. Kindertotenlieder. Terfel/Philharmonia/Sinopoli (DG Double)
Written when Mahler was on summer holiday (he called himself der Sommerkompanist; his main job was as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra), it is set in five movements, in a form similar to that of his Fifth Symphony, with a dark witch-sabbath Scherzo in the middle.
Mahler scholars of the past have found trouble integrating the last movement together with the rest of the symphony because of its very strangeness.
Mahler's lieder were written with the orchestra rather than piano accompaniment in mind, but still remain the intimate affairs that speak straight from the heart, and should be sung as such.

Anna suspected that Alma was suffering under the spell of the magnetism of "the musician" Mahler.
Anna Mahler related that Alma had impossibly blue eyes and, being slightly hard of hearing in one ear, always leaned close to a man when they were conversing, thus seemingly being coquettish.
Anna herself didn't like to be known as "the daughter of Gustav Mahler," but as "Anna Mahler, the artist." She left a large collection of fascinating sculptures, two of which reside today in Boulder, many at UCLA, and many at her former home in Spoleta, Italy.

 A Letter from Anna Mahler to Dennis Brumm, about 1986
Anna Mahler, the daughter of Austrian 19th/20th century composer Gustav Mahler, wrote me a letter several years before she died in 1988.
Anna (»Gucki«) Mahler lost her father, Gustav Mahler, at the early age of seven, and thereafter shared the inconstant life of her mother, Alma.
Anna lived in Los Angeles by about the 1930s; many of her sculptures are featured prominently in different places in L. These notes are from a series of biographies on this web page.

 Symphony No. 9 in D major
In the summer of 1907, by which time Mahler had completed eight of his symphonies and performed six of them, his life was shattered by the "three blows of fate" which he had predicted in the final movement of his Sixth.
Then Mahler's wife, barely recovered from surgery herself, collapsed from "extreme exhaustion of the heart"; in an attempt to cheer her, Mahler invited her physician to examine him, too, and his own fatal heart disease was diagnosed.
Mahler was not at all prepared for what the doctor told him, and that diagnosis came at a critical time in his professional life as well as a tragic one for his family.

 'Bride' reduces life to loves
Mahler, naturally, finds her honesty so refreshing he asks for her hand in marriage, despite the gap in their ages (he's 42; she's 22) and her family's anti-Semitism.
Anna has second thoughts when Mahler adds a caveat to his proposal: There is room for only one person's music in their new family, and that will be his.
Mahler's first love is always his music, and when their older daughter dies and Alma retreats to a sanatorium, she takes comfort in young architect Walter Gropius (Simon Verhoeven, looking as if he had been chiseled from the Alps).

 ALMA : Anna Mahler
Anna (»Gucki«) lost her father, Gustav Mahler, at the early age of seven, and thereafter shared the inconstant life of her mother Alma.
In the lecture of 1962 from which these words are taken, Anna Mahler forcefully and fearlessly expressed her convictions which she had followed throughout her life.
She knew that nobody could suspect her of being ignorant of the extremist movement that had dominated this century, but she also explained why so much of that art which she knew so well appeared to her a mere pursuit of novelty for novelty's sake, a pursuit that had ended in the dehumanisation of art.

 Ernst Krenek, Symphony No. 2, Op. 12
Indeed, he completed the symphony in the house of Mahler’s widow in Breitenstein (not far from Vienna) and shortly afterwards undertook the task of editing Mahler’s sketches of the tenth symphony.
For him, the end of the symphony is not a resolution of conflict, but "sounds like a racing charge aiming at the acceptance of the contradictions as an ordainment of higher powers" and "allowing the conflicting elements" to coexist side by side.
Krenek exaggerates Mahler’s dissolution of tonality, fragmented forms, and unrelentingly strict inner structures with an intensity that is almost apocalyptic.

Mahler, der erste Ehemann, hatte ihr aus Konkurrenzgründen das Komponieren untersagt und beanspruchte sie als Stütze in seinem pedantisch ganz auf seine Arbeit ausgerichteten Leben.
Gustav Mahler's letters to his wife have two distinct kinds of interest: as evidence in the story of a difficult and often unhappy marriage, and as a detailed, hour-by-hour account of the professional life of a great musician.
Mahler and Strauss admired each other, promoted and conducted each other's work and, when alone together, got on well enough, though Mahler felt that he would never really "come to terms with him as a person".

 SoundStage! Gustav Mahler - Symphony No.10
It is perhaps surprising that Mahler's widow, Alma, decided to allow the publication, in view of the highly visible, anguished comments scrawled over it by the composer, aware that his wife was having an affair with architect Walter Gropius -- later to become her second husband.
In 1963, when the octogenarian Alma was finally persuaded to listen to a tape of Cooke's initial broadcast, she was so moved that she lifted the ban and remarked that she "had not realized there was so much Mahler in it." The essential similarities between the four "completions" serve to underline her point.
His own stature as a conductor of Mahler was first demonstrated to the outside world on the MahlerFest CD of the massive Symphony No.8, which was issued a few years ago.

Directed by Bruce Beresford from a script by Marilyn Levy, this handsome film deals with some 20 years of Alma's life, beginning in 1901, when she met Mahler, and ending in the early years of her third and last marriage, to Werfel.
Born in 1879, the daughter of a landscape painter and a one-time actress, Alma was raised in a cultured household and at a young age became an accomplished pianist with ambitions to compose.
Equally famous for her beauty and her outspokenness, Alma married Mahler when she was 22 and he was 20 years older, a world-renowned musician with a congenital heart condition.

It was common practice around the turn of the twentieth century for conductors to alter established classical works to better suit the temper of the times.
Mahler obtained a score Schubert's well-known Quartet in D minor, Death and the Maiden, and made detailed notes therein indicating how the music could be disposed for string orchestra.
Long after his death, Mahler's daughter, Anna, discovered the marked-up Schubert score and brought it to the attention of Mahler scholars David Matthews and Donald Mitchell, who extracted the orchestral parts according to the composer-conductor's notations and published the score in 1984.

Their complex and often unhappy marriage (Mahler was nearly 20 years her senior) lasted until his death in 1911; of their two daughters only Anna Mahler, the sculptor, survived.
Marital crisis in 1910 prompted Mahler to publish five of Alma's songs; other collections appeared in 1915 and 1924, the year in which she published her influential edition of Mahler's letters and the facsimile manuscript of his Tenth Symphony.
