Notes: General rehearsal at 12-12-1904 and was on Mahler’s invitation, attented by Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) who afterwards wrote an passionate letter to Mahler, expressing the strong impression that the music had made on him. The great succes called for the second performance on 22-12-1904. When it was first announced in the newspaper on 16-12-1904, his second performance was originally scheduled to begin at 4:40 pm. This was probably a printing error. See: 1904 Concert Vienna 22-12-1904 – Symphony No. 3
