Alma Maria Mahler (August 31, 1879 – December 11, 1964), noted in her native Vienna for her beauty and intelligence, was the wife, successively, of one of the century's leading composers (Gustav Mahler), architects (Walter Gropius), and novelists (Franz Werfel).
With him, she had two daughters, Maria Anna (1902-1907), who died of scarlet fever or diphtheria, and Anna (1904-1988) who later became a sculptor.
Mahler had a single consultation with Dr. Sigmund Freud as to the causes for his dissatisfied relationship.
Written when Mahler was on summer holiday (he called himself der Sommerkompanist; his main job was as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra), it is set in five movements, in a form similar to that of his Fifth Symphony, with a dark witch-sabbath Scherzo in the middle.
Mahler scholars of the past have found trouble integrating the last movement together with the rest of the symphony because of its very strangeness.
Mahler's lieder were written with the orchestra rather than piano accompaniment in mind, but still remain the intimate affairs that speak straight from the heart, and should be sung as such.
