Gustav Mahler's 'Sixth Symphony' was written between 1903 and 1904, mostly in Vienna, during a period of professional success and private happiness. But musically the 'Tragic', as the symphony is sometimes called, seems like a bizarre reversal of Mahler's life events and an anticipation of future tragedies: the death of a daughter, the diagnosis of Mahler's heart disease, and his profound occupational crisis at the Vienna Court Opera. They would soon bring to an abrupt end Mahler's short spell of good fortune.
