The 5th is majestic! And the adagietto movement is heartbreakingly beautiful.

and it’s such an overwhelming experience. I was listening to Haydn’s symphony 100 “military” the other day and near the end of the 2nd movement, there it was, the trumpet call that begins the 5th. An homage to Haydn perhaps. Mahler used snippets of other folks music, like rap artists today. One of the original “samplers”. Mahler’s music is incredibly unique; no other music sounds like his. My home orchestra is the Buffalo Philharmonic and unfortunately no Mahler this season.
