Donald Mitchell's well-known study of Mahler's early life and music is now available in paperback. On its first appearance in 1958, the book was greeted as a major advance in Mahler documentation and research. This edition was prepared with the help of Paul Banks and David Matthews, who, in a substantial critical appendix, correct and amplify Mitchell's classic text.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Mitchell's biographical thoroughness, his scrupulousness with references, and his way of elucidating the various versions of a work are well known and widely admired." -- Times Literary Supplement
"Mitchell's chronicle of Mahler's first 20 years succeeds in constructing a biography from 'fragmentary, incoherent, and often contradictory Mahler literature.' Buttressed by copious notes and an extensive appendix, Mitchell traces Mahler's formative experiences and creative efforts preceding the symphonies." -- Robert Riley, Los Angeles Times
