The complex publication history of this work, the revisions of the
work after its initial publication, and the significance of various
annotated copies are better documented and understood than for, perhaps,
any other Mahler symphony. This is partly due to the survival of copious
relevant documentation, and in particular the bulk of the correspondence
between Mahler and Peters Edition. These sources were published, with
detailed commentaries, by Eberhardt Klemm in 1980 (EKGF);
in the descriptions presented here, references to this invaluable
article are either to pages and footnotes or to the number(s) of the
transcribed documents. Amongst other important contributions, the recent
edition of the work by Reinhold Kubik (SWV3)
offers an outstanding account of the primary sources and the
revision process.

The Stichvorlage for the full score was
ACF, received by C.F. Peters on 14 October 1903. Two sheets of
advance proof pages, presumably intended as samples showing
layout and other features of the proposed house style, were sent
to Mahler on 3 November and were returned to Leipzig later that
month. |

The first proofs of Part I were sent to Mahler
on 21 January 1904; Part II was due to follow in eight days
time, and Part III about three weeks later. Mahler returned the
corrected proofs of Part I by 27 or 28 January and Parts II and
III (probably separately) by 20 February 1904 (EKGF,
p. 99, fn 15/1). Mahler was impressed by the care and
professionalism of Paul Schäfer, the Peters proof-reader. |

The second proofs of Part I were sent to Mahler
at the end of February 1904, followed by Part II on 1 March and
the rest about eight days later. Mahler returned Parts I and II
on 12 March (p. 86 was then missing from the set, though it is
now present) and the rest by
21st of the month. Mahler had requested third proofs: Henri Hinrischen felt these were probably unnecessary, but agreed.
Mahler's corrections are in red,
orange, blue crayon and pencil; there are also engraver's
annotations in red ink and black pencil. Apart from corrections,
the proofs also contain Mahler's modest revisions (mostly
dynamics and phrasing) and estimates (in pencil) of the
playing time of the five movements:

In the first
movement, pp. 34–39, there is an autograph paste-over
transposing the C-clarinet part to D (there was apparently
also a corresponding slip p. 33 that is now absent) – a change that was
never made on the original plates, but was indicated in a
footnote. There are rather fewer autograph revisions in the
second movement, and the in-house editor appears to have
been very competent. Mahler made no
corrections in the last three movements. |

Mahler repeated his requested for the third
proofs on 29 March 1904, explicitly so that he could mark in
bowing and fingering for the strings. There was some urgency
now, because during Mahler's visit to Cologne to conduct the
Third Symphony on 27 March (HLGIII,
671), he and Fritz Steinbach had discussed the possibility of a première at a Gürzenich
Concert there in the middle of October. The Gürzenich Orchestra was available for
preliminary rehearsals under Steinbach in June, so the
score and parts would need to be prepared by the first of the
month.
It is not clear whether or when the third proofs were sent,
but Mahler telegrammed Peters on 6 April announcing that they
should expect 'corrections' (though he may have meant
'revisions') two days later. |

Fritz Steinbach, the conductor of the Gürzenich
Orchester, was sent a set of Plattenabzuge (page proofs)
of the score (together with a set of printed parts) on 6 June
1904 for use later that month during the preliminary rehearsals
for the the première. It is not clear whether the score was a
set of seconds or thirds. The score was probably still at
Cologne at the beginning of October: on 3 October Hinrischen
wrote to Mahler about arrangements for the first performance. He
was unable to prepare a new set of corrected full score proofs
in time, so he he suggested that Mahler might conduct from the
study score he had already used for a run-through in Vienna (APS1).
If this was not practical he proposed that Mahler ask Steinbach to return [PFpr] to Peters, where the revisions and corrections
would be transferred from APS1 (EKGF
no. 45). In fact Mahler was happy to conduct from the study score, so this latter suggestion was not taken up (EKGF
no. 46). |

After the reduced format study score (PS1) had
been produced (issued in September 1904), the plates were
revised prior to the printing and publication of the full score. The source for the revisions was presumably
APS1, used by
Mahler for a run-through, rehearsals and the première, which was
returned to Leipzig on 1 November. He was sent one copy of the
full score – which was presumably published at about this time –
on 23 November and another copy (together with Reger's Piano
Quintet op. 64) on 26 November (EKGF
no. 53, fn. 53). Apart
from major revisions to the orchestration, this second version
removed the repeat of the first 147 bars of the second movement.
C.G. Röder is referred to only on the title page, but was wholly
responsible for the printing of the published material (see, for
example, EKGF
no. 28). |

This score, now in the Universität für Musik und darstellende
Kunst, Wien, was used by Mahler for the performance of the Symphony at Straßburg on 21 May 1905, and the associated rehearsals.
Together with APO it was sent there
by Peters, via the local music and piano dealer, S. Wolf.
Mahler's revisions are mostly in red ink and these were
transferred to APO by a local
copyist also working in red ink. The score also contains some
autograph revisions in blue and brown pencil, probably made
during rehearsals.
Reinhold Kubik (SWV3,
344) has argued convincingly that at some time later in 1905
(most likely November) the revisions in
APF1 were
transferred by a (probably Viennese) copyist into three further
copies of the full score, all of which were associated with
subsequent performances of the work conducted by Mahler:
APF2,
CPF1,
and
APF3.
There is no indication when this score was given to Bruno
Walter; it contains some pencil annotations in his hand. |

This score, in the library of the Conservatorio
Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste, was presumably used for
Mahler's performance of the work by the Orchestre Triestina on
1
December 1905. The flyleaf bears a pencil note: 'Schott / La sinfonia maledetta', the name being a reference to Enrico Schott
of the Philharmonic Society in Trieste, who helped look after
Mahler during his stay in the town.
According to Reinhold Kubik the revisions made in red ink
using a fine nib are those transferred from
APF1 by
the Viennese copyist; the red ink changes made using a thicker
nib are by Mahler. The blue and brown pencil markings were most
likely made by him during the rehearsals, and some of the latter
changes were probably made to accommodate the capability of the
local orchestra (though Mahler reported it to be 'pretty
reasonable, well prepared and full of enthusiasm and passion' (GMBaA,
268). |

This score, in the library of the Koninlijk

revision of the parts to be used at Mahler's performance of the
work in Antwerp on
5 March 1906. According to Reinhold Kubik the revisions in red ink were
transferred from APF1 by the
Viennese copyist; there
are no autograph annotations in this score. |

This score is now in the
Nederlands
Muziek Instituut.
It is no doubt the copy that in October and November 1905 Mahler
asked Mengelberg to return because he had made 'very extensive
and important revisions' (GMB2,
p. 302;
GMSL, p. 287; see also
ERGMH, letters 17, 20–23). The plan was for these to be
entered into Mengelberg's score, from where they could be
transferred to the set of parts to be used for the Amsterdam
première, which Mahler conducted on 8 March 1906. (Mengelberg
seems to have thought Mahler wanted his copy of the study score:
Mahler pointed out that this had been superseded and did not
contain the corrections included in both the full score and the
printed parts.) The newly revised score (APF3) seems
to have been returned to Mengelberg in early December (ERGMH,
letter 24).
According to Reinhold Kubik most of the
revisions in red ink are those transferred from
APF1
by a
Viennese copyist though there are also a few autograph red ink
corrections and additional revisions.¹ The autograph blue and
brown pencil annotations were presumably made during the
rehearsals for the Amsterdam performance. Mengelberg's copious
annotations (transcribed in
GMWL,
and discussed in
SWGMF,
67–83) are concerned with historical, practical, interpretative and
programmatic issues. Perhaps the most significant concern the
status of the Adagietto as a love-letter from Mahler to
Alma Schindler, which, according to Mengelberg, was disclosed to
him by both the composer and the recipient (SWGMF,
p.79).
Later, c. 12 September 1906, Mahler asked Mengelberg to send
him his score once again, this time because Mahler wanted to
enter the revisions he had made in APF3 into his own
copy of the full score ([APF4]); Mengelberg must have
responded quickly since Mahler was able to return the
much-travelled copy on 15 October (ERGMH,
letters 31, 33).
A stamp on the title-page indicates that
this score was owned by the Concertbebouw-Gesellschaft: this has
been struck through by Mengelberg, with the annotation: The score bears the note: New score [presumably
CPF2]
in the Concertgebouw in place of this one annotated by me
(SWGMF,
69). |

This important source was Mahler's own
conducting score in the period 1905–07 and was the copy that indirectly acted as the printer's
copy for the second edition of the full score issued
posthumously in 1919 (PF2). Although its current
location is unknown, it was last seen in
Oxford in the 1940s and much is known about its history and
contents from other sources. [? the latter seems to have been a
study score with revisions copied in – see SWV₃ = Wellesz-Stp. See also the message from S.
Werner.]
On 2 November 1905 Mahler wrote to Wilhelm Gericke, who he
had heard was planning to perform the Symphony with the Boston
Symphony Orchestra (in fact they gave four complete
performances in all),
and offered to have his recent revisions marked into Gericke's
score so that they could be transferred to the parts. It seems
likely that Gericke sent a copy of the study score, since on 9
December Mahler replied, pointing out that this publication had
already been superseded, and offered to send Gericke his own
full score with the revisions he had made for the Vienna
première on
7 December. Mahler requested the swift return of the
copy, which he needed for future performances. If this offer was
accepted then the score was presumably dispatched shortly after
the performance Mahler conducted in Breslau on
20 December and,
to judge from his friendly letter of thanks for the performance,
it must have arrived back in Vienna safely by late February (GMUB 64–5,
GMUBE
62–3).
It was presumably this score that
was used by Mahler in Rome on
1 April 1907 and kept with
APO1
by Peters and this complete set
that was used again by Mahler for the performance in St
Petersburg on
9 November 1907 [EKGF
letters 63–5]. In 1908, before his
departure for New York, Mahler had the revisions he had marked
in the score over the years copied by N. Forstig into a set of
parts to be used by Ferdinand Löwe for a performance on 2 March
1909 ( .... see also SW3p. 350. However this may not have
included Mahler's final thoughts on the work: see [APF5]. |

This missing copy may have been the one in which Mahler
entered his final revisions in 1910–11: if so, its disappearance
probably represents a very serious loss is made evident by the
comments made by Mahler in two letters:
To
Emil Gutmann [December 1910-January 1911;
GMUB2a, 425;
GMSL, 370]:
Meine V. habe ich allerdings deu bearbeitet
und möchte diese Quasi-Novität bei Gelegenheit mal machen (meinetwegen
auch in München oder sonst wo). |
However, I have reworked my V. and would like
to do this quasi-novelty when I get a chance (in Munich, or
somewhere else, I suppose). |
To
Georg Göhler [8 February 1911;
GMUB2a, 463;
GMSL, 372]
Die 5. habe ich fertig – sie mußte faktisch
völlig um-instrumentiert werde.
Es ist unfaßbar,wie ich damals wieder so
völlig anfängerhaft irren konnte. (Offenbar hatte mich die
in den ersten 4 Symphonien erworbene Routine hier völlig im
Stich gelassen - da ein ganz neuer Still eine neue Technik
verlangte. |
I have finished my Fifth – it had to be
almost completely re-orchestrated.
It is clear that all the experience I had
gained in writing the first four symphonies completely let
me down in this one – for a completely new style demanded a
new technique. |
Wilkens argues this was
the reference copy in which Mahler had cumulatively entered his
revisions since 1904 (i.e. [APF4])
and Reinhold Kubik concurs, but it might have
been a clean copy of
PF1 used only for the
1910-11 revision,
and Mahler's letter to Hinrichsen dated 1 June 1910 requesting a
score and set of parts, would be consistent with such a scenario (see
GMSL, 356–57, and
EKGF, 51).
Whatever its origins, the score was presumably given to Georg Göhler by Alma Mahler, and passed on to C.F. Peters by him
before 15.iv.1913 (EKGF
letters 63–5).²
From this score the revisions were transferred into copies of PF1
(= [CPF3]), and PS1
([CPS2])
(EKGF
letter 94 and note (p. 109); see also [CPF3] below).
However, neither [APF5] nor [CPF3],
was used directly as the source for the preparation of PF2,
but rather a revised copy of PS1 (probably
[CPS2]).
The fact that the printed text of PS1 had been
superseded by that of PF1 was overlooked so that,
alongside Mahler's final revisions, many superseded readings from PS1
were reintroduced into PF2.
According to Erwin Ratz, [APF5]
was in London in 1945, but its subsequent history remains
unknown (GA EA2d). However Mahler's revisions in this score
were also copied into another copy of PS1 (=
CPS1)
by Egon Wellesz.

In a letter to George Göhler dated 12 December 1913 Paul
Ollendorff of Peters reported that (EKGF,
letter 94 fn 1):
Die Änderungen in der fünften [...] habe ich in eine große
(Folio) und eine Oktav-Partitur übertragen lassen. |
I have had the revisions to the Fifth ...
entered into a full (folio) score and a octavo score.
|
It was the full score that was sent to
Göhler in December 1913 and from which, presumably, he
conducted the first performance of the revised version, in
Leipzig on 9 January 1914.
It was probably these two scores that were are also referred
to in a later letter (7 October 1919) from Peters to a music
dealer, Adolf Stöppler of Wiesbaden, who had enquired about the
availability of the work. The publisher's reply reported that
the 'second version completed shortly before [Mahler's] death'
was only available for hire, and there were only 'two
handwritten' copies of the conducting score (EKGF,
15 and fn 67). In this context
'handwritten' is probably shorthand for 'with handwritten
revisions'. [This may need expansion.]

Mahler
initiated the practice of performing this movement on its own in
Rome on
1 April 1907. Presumably there had
been or were expected to be enough (so far untraced) emulations for Peters to
decide to issue
the movement on its own.
This publication was
simply reprinted from original plates: even the pagination was
retained. The
Library of Congress records give 21 November 1914
as date of publication for the score and parts, and notes that the deposit copies
of both were
received on 19 January 1915. |

The production of the reduced-size lithographic printing surface for this publication must have been made before
Mahler's revisions in the last set of proofs were added to the
full size engraved plates, as he reports finding errors – which were correct in [PFpr]
used by Steinbach for the preliminary rehearsals in July 1904 –
while marking up a copy of PS1
in September 1904 (EKGF
no. 41).
This first publication of the score, retaining the repeat of the first 147 bars in
the second movement and an early form of the orchestration.
Mahler was sent four copies of
PS1
on 8 September 1904, and of these he probably
retained three (the fourth was intended for Otto Neitzel) (EKGF,
Nr. 34, fn. 3). The publisher's note
reads:
Aufführungen dieses Werkes sind nur statthaft mit dem vom
Verleger genehmigten Material. — Zuwiderhandlung werden auf
Grund der Gesetze verfolgt.
LEIPZIG, September 1904 C.F. PETERS.
The copy in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association Rosenthal
Archives is
particularly interesting as this appears to have been annotated
by Frederick Stock (though not as extensively as was his usual
practice), presumably in connection with the
two performances he conducted there with the Theodore Thomas
Orchestra in March 1907. The paper used in this copy appears to
lack a watermark, so the copy may be an exemplar of an otherwise
undocumented early impression. The orchestra also possesses a
second study score (certainly an otherwise unrecorded
impression) – see
PS1b below - and a set of parts (see
PO1).² |

This was presumably one of the four copies
Mahler received in early September 1904, and was used by him at
the run-through with the Hofoper Orchester in Vienna between 17
and 26 September. On 28th Mahler returned this corrected and
revised study score to Peters, in the hope that it could be used
not only in the correction of the parts, but also in the
preparation of a revised version of the full score (EKGF
no. 41–3). Since a revised set of full score proofs could
not be prepared in time, Mahler was happy to follow Hinrischen's
suggestion, and conducted the première from APS1.
This score (together with a list of corrections to be made in
the parts) was subsequently returned to Peters on 1 November and
formed the basis of the final revisions to the full score and
parts prior to publication later that month.
Apart from the corrections and revisions the copy also
contains as a frontispiece, an autograph draft of an orchestral
list; a similar list was printed in the first and second
editions of the full score, but not in subsequent re-issues of
the study score.
When the score came into the possession of Bruno Walter is
not clear, but he made a few annotations in pencil, including
some timings. On the flyleaf he notes ' 63 Min. reine Musik / 3
Min nach II, 3 Min. nach III = 69 gesamt.' Durations are also
included at the end of individual movements: I = '12', II =
'13½–14', III = '15–15½', IV = '7½', V = '14'.
SWV3 p. 343 speculates that these might relate to
Mahler's rehearsals or the first performance; this is possible
(Walter arrived in time for the Generalprobe (GMBaA/GMBaAE,
no. 110)), but since Mahler would have been using this
score, it seems unlikely that Walter could have entered them
directly at the time. |

During his visit to Hamburg in March 1905
Mahler was in touch with Hermann Behn (GMBaA/GMBaAE,
nos 131–2), and gave him this copy of the study score
inscribed Meinen lieben Freunde Hermann Behn / am Tage
unseres freudigen Wiedersehens / 10 März
1905 / Gustav Mahler. This may have been one of the four copies sent to Mahler in September 1904
(see
APS1). Behn
attended Mahler's Generalprobe for the Hamburg première, on 12 March 1905
and made notes about the durations of the movements and the
pauses between them (from

In a letter to George Göhler dated 12 December 1913, Paul Ollendorff of Peters reported that (EKGF,
letter 94 fn 1):
Die Änderungen in der fünften [...] habe ich in eine große
(Folio) und eine Oktav-Partitur übertragen lassen. |
I have had the revisions to the Fifth ...
entered into a full (folio) score and a octavo score.
|
It was probably these two scores that were are also referred
to in a later letter (7 October 1919) from Peters to a music
dealer, Adolf Stöppler of Wiesbaden, who had enquired about the
availability of the work. The publisher's reply reported that
the 'second version completed shortly before [Mahler's] death'
was only available for hire, and there were only 'two
handwritten' copies of the conducting score [EKGF,
p. 15 and fn 67]. In this context
'handwritten' is probably shorthand for 'with handwritten
revisions' and the reference to the 'conducting score' a careless
imprecision.
This copy was almost certainly one of the sources for
PF2 and PS2 used by Röder during the
production of the revised plates.

Emil Hertzka clearly wished to be able to offer
all of Mahler's works under the UE imprint, but he achieved this
only briefly and after some delay when he licensed the study
score and piano duet arrangement of the Fifth Symphony from
Peters: the exact date and provisions of the agreement are
unknown, and copies of the UE issue of the arrangement have not been
located although some evidence of the resulting publications can be
found in the UE
Verlagsbuch. Curiously the availability of the Fifth was not
always reflected in UE's own advertisements: those on copies of
the piano duet arrangement of the Third Symphony printed early
in 1923 (PTp42e),
omit any reference to the work. |

This was the second and last printing
ordered by UE and the original licensing arrangement presumably
ended in the late 1920s and by 1929 at the latest the Symphony
was omitted from the UE catalogue. Nevertheless, as the
Verlagsbuch reveals, UE continued to order very small
numbers of copies (five or ten copies) from Hofmeister in
Leipzig (and perhaps another dealers, though the significance of
the 'A' suffix in some entries is unclear). The reason for these
orders is unknown at present, and the copies were presumably
from Peters own stock. |

Mahler
initiated the practice of performing this movement on its own in
Rome on
1 April 1907. Presumably there had
been enough – so far untraced – emulations for Peters to issue
the movement on its own.
The study score of the Adagietto (unlike
the full score listed above) was apparently prepared (probably
photo-lithographically) from the plates of the second edition of
the full score, retaining the plate number of that edition. |

Both the source of the PO stemma,
and the nature of its first item is uncertain. In November
1903 Mahler proposed that the parts be completed only after the
first performance (EKGF,
K12).Hinrichsen understood him to mean that parts would
be engraved only after the performance – a suggestion he was
happy to accept in order to avoid corrections to the plates(EKGF,
K13) – but it is probable that Mahler envisaged from the start
that proofs would be used for the first performance. This seems
also to have been his idea when on 29.iii.1904 he asked Peters
to have a part set ready by 1 June for the preliminary
rehearsals under Steinbach (EKGF,
K10). In the same letter he indicates he wishes to see [PFpr3]
so that he can enter fingering and bowing for the strings, which
should then be transferred to the parts.
In his reply on 30.iii.1904 Hinrichsen agreed to supply
Separatabzüge of the parts for the preliminary rehearsals
and by 3.vi.1904 work on the parts was well under way (EKGF,
K24). What source was used in their preparation is
unclear, but since Mahler seems not to have commented otherwise
the best hypothesis is that [PFpr3] was employed as the most
accurate source then available. |

On 4.vi.1904 Mahler telegrammed Peters requesting the
dispatch of performance material to Steinbach and on 6 June 1904 Hinrichsen replied that it would be sent two days later and that
the second proofs of strings, flute and oboe parts had been
seen, but not those of the rest of the set. In the same letter
Hinrichsen repeats that the parts will not be printed until
after the première, but since he makes the same comment about
the [full] score he must mean 'printed for publication' (EKGF,
K27). Mahler clearly thought the full score might appear before
the performance and suggested that a list of corrections be
issued. It was to avoid this that Hinrichsen proposed the
postponement.
The mixed part set was used in June and
then sent on to Mahler by mid-September for collation (EKGF,
K36, 39). On 17 September 1904 Peters sent Mahler a
copy of the wind parts in second proof to replace those in the
part-set he had to hand.
The part-set (perhaps now made up entirely of second proofs) was used for a
run-through with the Hofoper orchestra and revised in
response to that experience. The wind and percussion parts were
returned to Peters on 27 September 1904 with a request for an
extra part for cymbals and bass drum (EKGF,
K41). On
28 September 1904 Mahler returned
APS1 and single copies of the revised
string parts to Leipzig; the remaining desks, all corrected,
were sent to Cologne. |

In September 1904 Hofmeister entry for the
study score signalled the future availability of the 'orchestral
material' by agreement with the publisher; in November the full
score was available for purchase at a fixed price (Mk 45), but
that of the parts was still covered by a publisher's agreement:
this may reflect a application of a sliding scale that reflected
the size and earning potential of the purchasing organisation.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra set was probably used for the
two performances in the city in March 1907. |

This set of parts, with [APF4]
was used by Mahler
for the performance of the Adagietto in Rome on
1 April 1907,
and of the complete work at Strasburg in 1905 and St Petersburg
on 9 September 1907. There are several layers of revisions and
correction is these parts: a) alterations
corresponding to the autograph changes made in Mahler's copy of

According to SWV₃, p.350,
Mahler had this set of parts prepared after November 1908 by one
of his Viennese copyists, N. Forstig specifically for a
performance by the Wiener Konzertverein on 2 March 1909, under
Ferdinand Löwe. The make up of the set included string parts for
a modest ensemble: 7,5,4,3,3. |

Mahler asked Hinrichsen to send
a new part set and score to him on 1 June 1910.
(GMSL
no. 417). Despite Wilken's suggestion to the
contrary (SWGMF,
111) I think it possible that this set became APO2a.
It is the only surviving primary source for Mahler's late
revision of the work, probably completed in 1910, but according
to Wilkens, these parts were not used in preparing PO2
(SWGMF,
114). |

Although the manuscript of Otto Singer's piano duet
arrangement ([CTp4]) has not been located, quite a lot is known
about the circumstances of its creation (see the link above for
details). However, it is not clear when it was finally
completed: in late March Hinrischen asked Singer to add
indications of instrumentation, and it may be that the
manuscript was returned to Singer for that purpose. In early May
Singer visited Mahler in Vienna to go through the arrangement (EKGF
p. 107, fn 1 to letter no. 76; no source or further details are
provided), but again it is not certain whether they were working
on Singer's manuscript or the first proofs, but given the fact
that Mahler returned the corrected and revised first proofs of
Parts I and II on 2 June (EKGF
no. 23), it seems likely the first proofs were available early
in May.
The discussions had irritated Singer, not least
because Mahler was prone to change his mind – see the notes to
PTp41 below. On the other hand, Mahler was
not wholly impressed with Singer's arrangement (EKGF
no. 31, ([26.07.1904])):

Was meine Correturen betrifft, so
bitte ich mir zu glauben, daß dieselben sehr nöthig
und wichtig waren. Man hätte sich nach dem
Clavierauszug, wie er mir seinerzeit vorgelegen war,
gar kein rechtes bild vom Ganzen machen können. Es
war oft nur das Unwesentlichr hervorgehoben und sehr
oft der Gang der eigentlichen Haupstimme durch
Nebenwerthe verdeckt. |
As for my corrections, please believe me that they
were very necessary and important. One could not
have obtained a proper picture of the whole from the
piano arrangement as it was before me at the time.
Often only the unessential was emphasized and very
frequently the course of the actual main part was
covered by secondary [lines]. |

This edition is not one of Peters'
more attractive piano duet publications. Although the page size
is that of comparable duet arrangements issued by the firm, the
decision to squeeze six systems onto each page results in a very
cluttered layout. (This can usefully be compared to the
publication of Singer's duet arrangements of Bruckner's
symphonies a few years later which have only five systems per
page and the system width is also slightly greater.) On 15 October 1903, soon after the publishing
agreement with Peters had been finalized, Mahler enquired who
the company planned to invite to prepare the piano arrangement (EKGF
no. 11) and the following month was happy with the news, conveyed in a missing
letter from Peters, dated 3 November, that it was to be Otto Singer (1863–1931) (EKGF
no. 12). (The chronology here is somewhat odd, as Singer did not
write to accept the invitation from Peters until 8 November –
see EKGF,
p. 107). Mahler may have expected more than one such arrangement
for piano
to be issued, but initially Peters only planned for a piano
duet: it was many years before the firm commissioned the two
other arrangements for piano (PTp2
and
PT2p4). Singer was informed on 20
January 1904 that he could expect Part I of the symphony 'by the
end of next week' and the two remaining parts would follow at
short intervals; Peters hoped to have the manuscript of the
complete arrangement by the beginning of March (EKGF
no. 72). The following day Hinrischen wrote to Mahler sending
him the first proofs of the score of the 'I. Satz' (probably
meaning Part I) and requesting that Mahler return the corrected
proofs and 'the manuscript' (presumably ACF) as soon as possible
so that Singer could commence work on the arrangement (EKGF
no. 13). Mahler complied within about a week (EKGF
no. 13) so presumably Singer must have been in receipt of
uncorrected second proofs of the score of the first section
(probably Part I) in the first half of February. By 21st he was
able to send Peters the manuscript of his arrangement of two
movements or parts and to request an honorarium of 350 marks (EKGF
no. 73). He was rather protective about his work:
Es wäre mir lieb, wenn Herr Mahler nichts daran
ändern würde; die ungewöhnliche Musik verlangt auch eine
ungewöhnliche Wiedergabe als Klaviersatz. Volle Klarheit der
motivischen Linie verbunden mit denkbarster Bequemlichkeit für
die Spieler war mir oberste Richtschnur. |
I would prefer it if Herr Mahler changes
nothing in it: the unusual music demands an unusual
transcription in terms of keyboard layout. My chief
guideline was complete clarity of the motivic line combined
with greatest convenience for the players.
|
In a letter dated 24 February Singer revealed that he was also rather pleased with the outcome (EKGF
no. 74):
Ich habe zwar noch keine directe Erfahrung mit
Herrn Mahler, glaube aber, daß er sich freuen wird, wie ich fast
das gesammte thematische Material untergebracht habe ohne in
einen schwülstigen Klaviersatz zu geraten. |
Although I have no personal knowledge of Herr
Mahler, I nevertheless believe that he will be very happy
with the way that I have accommodated almost all of the
thematic material without turning out an over-inflated piano
texture. |
However, Hinrischen was not entirely happy with Singer's work
as he made clear on 27 March (EKGF
no. 75):
Im Begriff die Mahlersche Symphonie zum Stich zu
C. G. Röder zu geben, entdecke ich zu meinem Schrecken, daß
dieselbe keine Instrumentationsangaben enthält, wie dies doch
heutzutage eine conditio sine qua non bei einer guten 4händigen
Bearbeitung ist und wie sowohl die klassischen Symphonien als
auch diejenigen von Brahms solche enthalten [...] und möchte Sie
bitten, das Versäumte nachzuholen, in der Annahme, daß dies in
dem hohen Honorar inbegriffen ist, als zu einer zeitgemäßen
4händigen Bearbeitung gehörig.... |
At the point of giving the Mahler symphony to
C.G. Röder for engraving I discovered to my horror that this
contains no indications of scoring as are today a
conditio sine qua non of a good 4-handed arrangement
and as such are included in both classical symphonies and those
of Brahms ... and ask you to make good the omission, on the
assumption that this is included in the large honorarium, as
being appropriate for an up-to-date 4-handed arrangement....
|
Presumably Hinrischen won the day, as the published score
does indeed contain (albeit somewhat cursory) indications of
scoring. However by 8 July (EKGF
no. 76) Singer, who had been in Vienna at the beginning of May
to work on the arrangement with the composer (see EKGF
p. 107, note 1 to letter 76), was complaining in the strongest
of terms:
Mit Mahler ist es wirklich eine Calamität – von
einem Tag zum andern hat er seine Ansicht über
Ändertungsbedürftigkeiten gewechselt und schließlich gutheißen
was er im ersten Moment, ohne die reifliche Überlegung die ich
doch jeden Tacte vorausgeschickt, verwerfen wollte. An den
letzten beiden Sätzen schein ihm doch jede Note an ihrem rechten
Platze, was hat er denn da schließlich wieder umgeworfen? Ich
habe einmal meinen Namen von einer Bearbeitung zurückgezogen,
weil ich ihn nicht zur Deckung der Verbalhornisierungen
mißbrauchen lassen wollte, die ein junger Componist meiner
Arbeit aufpfrofte. Wäre es wirklich nötig daß ich es in diesem
Falle wieder so machen müßte? |
It is really a calamity with
Mahler – from one day to the next he altered his view about
the need for changes, and finally approved what he initially
– despite the careful consideration that I have
given each bar – wanted to reject. In the last two movements, every note seems
to be in its right place, what did he finally upset again? I
once withdrew my name from an arrangement because I didn't
want it to be used to conceal the bowdlerisations that a
young composer was injecting into my work. Might it really
be necessary for me to do so again in this
case? |
Hinrischen's
reply was emollient (EKGF
no. 77), but Mahler's annotations on
ACF and Alma Mahler's memories of the preparations for the
premiere of the Seventh Symphony in 1908, suggest that Singer may have been justified (AMGME3,
143):
I found him in bed; he was nervous and
unwell. His room was littered with orchestral parts, for his
alterations were incessant in those days, not of course in
the composition, but in the instrumentation. From the Fifth
onwards he found it impossible to satisfy himself; the Fifth
was differently orchestrated for practically every
performance; the Sixth and Seventh were continully in
process of revision. It was a phase. His self-confidence
returned with the Eighth. |
This edition retains the repeat
of the first 147 bars in the second movement. On p. 6 the
secundo part is also lacking b. 138 of the first movement,
an omission first spotted by Mahler in September 1904 (EKGF,
K34).

According to Klemm, this error was corrected by paste-overs
until the appearance of the second state.

Emil Hertzka clearly wished to be able to
offer all of Mahler's works under the UE imprint, but he
achieved this only briefly and after some delay when he licensed
the study score and piano duet arrangement of the Fifth Symphony
from Peters: the exact date and provisions of the agreement are
unknown but some evidence of the resulting publications can be
found in the UE
Verlagsbuch.
In the absence of any identified copies it
cannot be confirmed that this impression was of the second
state, but see
PTp41A. |

Peters had considered inviting Otto Singer to
make the arrangement, but eventually wrote to Mahler's old
friend, Hermann Behn, on 4.xi.1920 (EKGF
letters 114–15, pp. 71–2), who reluctantly turned down the
invitation on 7 November. Stradal's arrangement
was completed some time
before 17.iv.1922. (EKGF
p. 113) but publication was postponed because of the economic climate.
It is laid out in score format. This appears to have been the
only impression of the arrangement. |
