And one to stick next to the stereo for when my wife asks what Mahler symphony I've just subjected her to. :)

This is soooo awesome! I wish I had had them to pass out during the Mahlerabend, here at The Musical Offering.

Thank you James. Awesome. I've sent it to some friends who like Mahler's music (although not suffering from mahleria like me).

It's a very neat idea.

I think I'd have preferred if there was less emphasis on how the work begins [some might have forgotten] and more on highly memorable elements.

Wonder if it would work as well by concentrating on endings; tho' that does assume the neophyte gets to the end of the relevant masterpiece. [Which is what they all are.]
