Product Description

The Trauermarsch (Funeral March) is the first movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor. It is a slow, somber movement in 4/4 time, and is marked "In gemessenem Schritt. Streng. Wie ein Kondukt" (In measured steps. Sternly. Like a funeral procession).
This piece is a powerful and moving movement that is often interpreted as a meditation on death and loss. Mahler himself said that the movement was inspired by the death of his friend, the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky.
The movement is also notable for its use of the "hammer stroke," a loud, dissonant chord that is used to punctuate the movement. The hammer stroke is often interpreted as a symbol of death or judgment.
The Trauermarsch is one of the most famous and beloved movements in Mahler's symphonic repertoire. It is a powerful and moving piece of music that has been performed and recorded by many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors.
