So, what's it saying about the Carpenter ed. of M10??
John,
The translation Russ pointed to should be clear enough.
Things mentioned that I found interesting (and didn't know about):
- Zinman mentions that Mahler quotes from his previous works. He also finds that some motives are characters that show up in every symphony showing their journey.
- Carpenter suffered with creating his version, making several version of it until a friend of Zinman, Gordon Peters conducted the first performance.
- Carpenter used bits of Mahler's previous symphonies.
