 ALMA : Max Burckhard
Max Burckhard was Director of the Viennese Burgtheater until 1898, making a particularly significant contribution towards the presentation of modern drama.
From 1895 onwards, Burckhard, a constant guest in the Moll household, fostered Alma´s nascent interest in classical and contemporary literature, bringing along the standard classical and modern works in laundry baskets; as an anti-Semite, however, he also schooled in her a hatred of Jews.
It was particularly the philosophy of Nietzsche which welded them to one another as »conspirators in spirit«; his phrase »Whoever falls, should also be given a push!« became one of Alma´s life-long mottos, leading to the suffering of many of her unsuccessful admirers.

Max Philllips doesn't try to make us think that his account of the life of Alma Schindler Mahler Gropius Werfel is all fact and no fiction.
Max Burckhard, director of the Burgtheater, brought her books by Plato, Darwin and Nietzsche; Gustav Klimt made drawings of her (which she promptly ripped up); she entranced then dismissed (quite appallingly) her own music teacher, the composer, Alexander von Zemlinsky.
For the simple reason that Max Phillips has fashioned an excellent tale about a fascinating woman whose greatest adventures occurred during a time when her fin-de-siècle Vienna and Hapsburg world was simultaneously both filled with intriguing characters and at the brink of chaos and collapse.

Bahr's support of Max Burckhard, Director of the Burgtheater in the 1890s, not only by advising him on the introduction of a modern repertoire as well as of a new style of acting, but also by informing the public of these innovations to pave the way for their acceptance.
To the same degree Bahr influenced his good friend Max Burckhard to modernize the repertoire of the Vienna Burgtheater as well as the style of acting and lent important assistance by writing articles preparing the theatergoers in advance for the new techniques they would see.
Having witnessed the benefits of the developments in England, France and Germany, he railed in his writings against the backwardness of Austria, which lagged behind the leading countries of Europe because the ruling house, through its policy of maintaining the status quo, stifled initiative within Austria and throughout the Monarchy.

There, the 20-year old Alma, who claimed that she was a "reluctant" guest that evening, was the 'life of the party," making raucous conversation with Gustav Klimt (one of Alma's "conquests") and Max Burckhard (Director of the Burgtheater and another of Alma's admirers).
Mahler, who almost never attended such dinner parties, "happened" to be there, was intrigued by this lively, intelligent and attractive young girl, and was induced to "join the fun." As we know, the rest is history.
In spite of being an incurable flirt, and a "collector of men," Alma remained true to Gustav until the summer of 1910 and her torrid affair with Walter Gropius (which she whitewashed in her memoirs), but that is another story told in the booklet of the MahlerFest CD recording of the Tenth Symphony.

Schnitzler took the advice of his friend Max Eugen Burckhard and decided not to attend the military hearings of his own trial to which he was subsequently invited, as it was not compulsory and he could see no reason why he should have to defend his works of literature at a military tribunal.
However, the military court judged that Schnitzler had 'crossed the line' with his latest publication and had injured the army's honour.

Alma Schindler was the daughter of the well-known landscape painter Peter Schindler and grew up in the midst of fin-de-siècle Vienna’s artistic ferment.
Throughout her life, she exercised considerable fascination on an array of Vienna’s male geniuses, from her three husbands (Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel) to other admirers, including the pianist Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Oskar Kokoschka, the famous stage director Max Burckhard, and others.
Impelled by a crisis in their marriage (she had begun an affair with the young architect Gropius), he revisited her compositions and told her, “These songs are good—they’re excellent.

The idyll did not extend beyond two passionate kisses on a trip to Italy, where the painter briefly joined the Moll family.
But they were enough to haunt Alma through much of the next two years, when she fell under the consecutive and overlapping spell of the outstanding Secessionist architect Josef Olbrich; the artistic director of the Burgtheater and comic playwright Max Burckhard; and, above all, Alexander Zemlinsky, to whom she turned for more advanced music lessons.
