Over an ascending octave motif in the strings, the rustic second movement of this symphony opens with the woodwind theme “pickup E, A (pause) high C-sharp, low E, (10[1])A.” In contrast to Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony, this symphony repeatedly evokes the sound of a cuckoo with a falling perfect (10[1])fourth. This symphony (10[1])opens in a tempo (10[1])marked “slowly, (10[1])dragging” as strings softly play the note A stretched over seven (10[2])octaves. (10[1])This (10[1]-5[1])symphony’s cyclical structure incorporates themes from a deleted slow movement (10[1])titled (10[3]-5[1])“Blumine.” Klezmer (10[1])music is evoked in the inner (-5[1])sections of this “Wunderhorn” (10[1])symphony’s third (-5[1])movement, which opens with a minor-key version of “Frère (10[3]-5[3])Jacques” (10[1])for (10[1]-5[1])solo double (10[1])bass. For 10 (10[1])points, name this symphony by Gustav Mahler that chronologically precedes his (10[1])“Resurrection” (10[2]0[1])Symphony. (10[5]0[9])■END■
