i love how mahler wrote this for alma, and then you have a few symphonies later where he's writing about his heart condition (inevitable death) his child dying and then alma cheating on him. NICE!

I think Mahler's 9th is the best example of how pain trascends into music.

The good news is: he didn’t write it for Alma. It’s a myth. And she served him right for cheating. Their marriage was stifling and horrible.

Thank you! That's exactly what I aim to do as well

I discovered Mahler thanks to this movement alone, which is sad and at the same time feels like "falling in love"; but is tragic, and then there is me imagining the universe or a spinning galaxy, it's curious that is probably his most famous movement and without involving the military percussion and winds, which makes his symphonies MORE EPIC for my taste (I'd say this in a good sense, I love that feeling), it's probably the moment in a Mahler sympohny I return the most, even though I love each one of them.

Hello from Kansas City, Missouri Skylar. Outstanding analysis of one of the most Breathtakingly Beautiful pieces of music ever written, Mahler's Adagietto from his 5th Symphony. I'm so glad I discovered your KZread Channel. It's like a Masterclass in Music Composition. Thanks.

Man, u are the only person i saw who make those analysis and i learned so much just from one video. I have a question, where can i find exercises to be sure that i make analysis correct? Because i just take screens from your videos, i erase notation without looking and then i check if it`s correct. Thank you

Прекрасная музыка. Прекрасный анализ.

Very well done!!

great analysis! i hope you will do mahler 3 (final movement) in the future :D

When I hear this one I always see snow coming down.

One of the most beautiful parts of any symphony. If someone know a part that can match this one please tell me.

In my opinion, the only parts of other symphonies that can match the Adagietto are the Adagio from Mahler's 9th Symphony and the Adagio from Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony

Try the slow movements from the 4th and 6th symphonies (also by Mahler). They're a bit longer and structurally more complex, but just as beautiful IMO.

Great video BTW!

Really? That seems a bit random

love your videos! was hoping you could maybe explain your system for naming chords because there is a bunch here that I'm not following. For example at 00:34, in the second bar, first chord you've written in this bar is V7/V which to my understanding is a C7/G, but in the music there is a B natural which contrasts with that. Another example would be in the same page (00:34), chord number 2 in first bar is written as iidim43/V but to me the notes look like a simple Fm6/Ab. Would be cool for you to explain all these charts because I'm sure there's something I'm missing. :)

@skylarlimex

/V simply means of the dominant key - since we're in F major this means C major - so V7/V is the dominant 7 chord of c major, g dominant 7 and ii half dim43 of c major is d half diminished, D F Ab C.
