Description
Symphony No. 7 was composed by Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) between 1904 and 1906. Often informally called "Song of the Night" due to the 2nd and 4th movements both being titled Nachtmusik (Night music), the composition was preceded by a long stretch of writer's block, which Mahler broke through suddenly upon returning from a trip to the Dolomites.
The premiere took place on September 19, 1908, with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague under the baton of Mahler. While the work left audiences confused at the time, the work is recognized today for its innovative use of orchestration.
