Product Description
The Adagietto from Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 makes for a wonderful piano arrangement!
This is an accurate piano transcription of the full piece, created with great passion and attention to detail.
Please note: Although the "Adagietto" is a very slow piece, there are quite challenging parts in this arrangement, so it can only be recommended to experienced piano players.
The Adagietto is the fourth movement from Gustav Mahler's fifth Symphony, which he composed in the years 1901 and 1902.
Considered an expression of his love for his wife Alma, the Adagietto became arguably his most famous composition, and is frequently performed by the world's greatest orchestras.
Leonard Bernstein famously conducted the Adagietto at Robert F. Kennedy's funeral.
It also became a common theme for the remembrance of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Played by only the orchestra's string section and a solo harp, the Adagietto is certainly one of the most beautiful compositions ever written, and it makes for a magnificent piano piece!
