Mahler, Gustav. (1860-1911). Original 1900 Concert Program. Vienna concert program (single sheet flyer, ca. 9,5 x 6 inch), November 18, 1900. Gustav Mahler conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of his own First Symphony. The program also included Beethoven's "Geschöpfe des Prometheus" and Schumann's "Manfred Ouverture." In very fine condition.
Mahler's First Symphony was first performed in Budapest in 1889 as a five-movement symphonic poem under the title "Symphonische Dichtung in zwei Teilen" (Symphonic Poem in two Parts). There were two further concerts in Hamburg and Weimar under this name, but after further revisions, Mahler eventually dropped the title and the descriptive movement titles, and the actual World Premiere of the revised version billed as "First Symphony" occured on March 16, 1896 in Berlin. The present program is from the first ever performance in Vienna, the fourth performance of the work anywhere. Excellent condition, center fold. Original programs from Mahler's illustrious Viennese tenure are quite scarce; a premiere performance of the composer conducting his own First Symphony, is a great rarity.
