Gustav Mahler Quotes


A late-Romantic Austrian-Bohemian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. 
Gustav Mahler was a late-Romantic Austrian-Bohemian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.

Here are some famous quotes by Gustav Mahler.

The real art of conducting consists in transitions.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
