 +===== Symphonic Trilogy =====
 +
 +Gustav Mahler's composition career can be split into three "creative" phases, each of which resulted in a "symphonic trilogy".[([[https://www.scribd.com/document/410598691/Gustav-Mahler|Scribd]])]
 +
 +===== First Creative Period =====
 +
 +His three symphonies were very different during his first creative era. Symphony No. 1 in D Major (1888) consisted of four movements, with the fifth being omitted, and is commonly regarded as an autobiography of his life. The upbeat opening is followed by "The Funeral March in the Manner of Callot," and the piece concludes with a beautiful conclusion.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Second Creative Period =====
 +
 +Resurrection is the common title for Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (1894). It begins with death and culminates in a celebration of immortality.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler/Musical-works-middle-period#ref270272|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Third Creative Period =====
 +
 +In six movements, Symphony No. 3 in D Major (1896) portrays a "Dionysian picture of a grand chain of existence".[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler/Musical-works-middle-period#ref270272|Britannica]])]
