Gustav Mahler
These two composers met in
Helsinki, Finland in 1907. Jan Sibelius said:
"When our conversation touched on the essence of symphony, I said that
I admired its severity and style and the profound logic that created an
inner connection between all the motifs. This was the experience
I had
come to in composing. Mahler's opinion was just the reverse.
"No, the symphony must be like the world. It must embrace
everything."
- Ekman, Mahler Remembered, page 218.
