Gustav Mahler

"Alma Mahler-Werfel was one of the most fascinating ... of twentieth-century women. Her book Gustav Mahler: Memories and Letters (1940) includes 159 of Mahler's letters, yet only 37 of these were published in their original, unedited form." "This new edition restores the original texts, and includes a further 188 letters as well as other, hitherto unpublished documents. The letters are supplemented by commentaries..."-- BOOK JACKET.
