Symphonies

  • Symphony No. 1 in D major (?1884–1888; rev. 1893–1896; 2nd rev. 1906).
    • Note: This was first called "Symphonic Poem", later "Titan" Originally in 5 movements, the second movement, Blumine, was discarded in the final revision.
  • Symphony No. 2 in C minor (1888–1894; rev. 1903)
    • Note: The title "Resurrection", while popular with listeners, does not appear on the score and is not used in works of reference.
  • Symphony No. 3 in D minor (1893–1896; rev. 1906)
  • Symphony No. 4 in G major (1892, 1899–1900; rev. 1901–1910)
  • Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor/D major (1901–1902; scoring repeatedly rev.)
  • Symphony No. 6 in A minor (1903–1904; rev. 1906; scoring repeatedly rev.)
    • Note: At a performance in Vienna in 1907, the title "Tragic" was attached to the symphony on posters and programs, but the word does not appear on the score and is not used in works of reference.
  • Symphony No. 7 in E minor (1904–1905; scoring repeatedly rev.)
    • Note: The title "Song of the Night", while popular with listeners, did not originate with Mahler, does not appear on the score, and is not used in works of reference.
  • Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major (1906–1907)
    • Note: The title "Symphony of a Thousand", while popular with listeners, is not due to Mahler, does not appear on the score, and is not used in works of reference. The composer, in fact, strongly objected to this title being applied to the eighth symphony.
