Im not very happy that Mahler died on may 18th 1911, very odd choice of words.  For one thing we are deprived of a much better 10th than what we have, Mahler would have refined it and orchestrated to his very contrapuntal genius best.

Okay, so calling Mahler's death "happy" is macabre.  However we can still celebrate the life that he did have and all of the wonderful music he gave us!
