Con una lodevole iniziativa, la Morgan Library & Museum di NY ha aperto i suoi archivi e sta pubblicando anche in web una montagna di materiale musicale ( manoscritti ) fino ad oggi accessibili solo a pochi intimi.
Vi si possono scovare – o verificare in proprio – interessanti aspetti legati alla storia delle diverse composizioni.
(Quasi) a caso, sono entrato sul manoscritto originale (1903) della Quinta di Mahler . È noto a (quasi) tutti che l'Autore rimise le mani più volte sulla sinfonia, che è stata quindi object of attention and authoritative critical editions.
Unwittingly it, looking at the first page of the famous Adagietto , you immediately notice a significant difference at all between the original idea and subsequent review by the author. Here:
Apart division of violets not originally scheduled, you will notice as the second section of the ground conductor (straddling the lines 3-4) was almost imperceptibly, but significantly affected by Mahler, compared to the first draft: the penultimate quaver of size 3, an original SOL, which did grow monotonously melody (FA-SOL-LA) eventually becomes a Bb, thus introducing immediately a ripple expression, which comes immediately after recovery (already in the original) from the restatement of the reason the cellos. The first form - at half speed (crotchets instead of quavers) - remains in place in the second half of the ground in the second violins (Measure 73 and later).
Small details perhaps, but telling us the authentic suffering by which a composer like Mahler lived his creatures.
