Gustav Mahler
Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) was an Austro-Bohemian composer and conductor, widely regarded as one of the leading figures in late-Romantic music. His symphonies and song cycles are characterized by their emotional depth, complex orchestration, and incorporation of folk elements. Mahler's Fourth Symphony, composed in 1899, is notable for its lighter, more lyrical qualities compared to his other works, reflecting his transition to Catholicism and his interest in themes of innocence and spirituality. His music continues to influence and inspire contemporary composers and musicians.
