MAHLER SIXES (cont.)


4. Leonard Bernstein
New York Philharmonic
1967

First movement

to Jordan:
2 bars before Rehearsal #3

My score seems to be missing the trill on the 1/4-note on beat 4 in the 2nd bar. Is it in the part?


4 bars before Rehearsal #13
It must be difficult to coordinate this with interps like Bernstein, where this is molto rubato?

Correctly takes the 2nd ending

to Rachel:

p. 47 Violins I & II (beat before Rehearsal #25)
*I. Spieler legato II. Spieler non legato
1st player legato; 2nd player non‑legato

Extraordinary note! Does this mean each stand is split into one player playing legato and the other non-legato?

Bernstein goes full rubato in these two sections:

4 bars before Rehearsal #35

5 bars after Rehearsal #35

Slow movement 3rd

Gorgeous!

Five bars before Rehearsal #61, look how he achieves an effect by switching the dynamics in the two parts:

The final nine bars -- exquisite!


Fourth movement

Two hammer blows, well recorded

Final bars:
