- The author has constructed the edited volume Rethinking Mahler with the principal aims of reassessing the composer’s relationship with the music and culture of his own past, and better understanding his work through the temporal frameworks of historiography and concepts of ‘pastness’ and ‘Nachträglichkeit’ (‘afterwardsness’). The author’s own Introduction and chapter ‘Mahler and the Game of History’ newly examine these frameworks in order to highlight the complexities of historical time’s confrontation with aesthetics, meaning and appropriation in, and of, Mahler’s music. The contributing essays assembled by the editor explore hitherto uncovered past traces and trajectories—literal and figurative, technical and philosophical—invoking Beethoven, Schlegel, Goethe, Offenbach, Bruckner, Wagner, as well as stage, screen and popular forms, in order to pursue ideas of nostalgia, historicism, and the multi-layered plural chronologies embodied in Mahler’s compositional world.
