Music: Mahler's Unfinished Symphony

Article Abstract:

Mahler died while composing his tenth symphony. As Mahler's fame grew interest in performing the unfinished work and two separate movements were performed in 1924 and was completed for performance purposes by English musicologist Deryck Cooke. The resulting version has met with objections, though the power of the work and Mahler's mastery is evident.
