Many raved about Gustav Mahler's Ninth Symphony. His friend, composer Alban Berg, said: "The first movement is the most glorious thing Mahler ever wrote. It is the expression of an incredible love for this earth, the longing to live in peace on it, to enjoy it, nature, to its very core – before death comes."

Even "birdsong and an orange sunrise" can be found in his "Siegfried Idyll," explained Richard Wagner. The work for chamber orchestra was a birthday surprise for his wife Cosima and was first performed in 1870 in the stairwell of their home in Tribschen near Lucerne. The title alludes to their son Siegfried, but Wagner primarily quotes from the musical drama of the same name in his four-part opera "The Ring of the Nibelung."

Day And Night

In Ludwig van Beethoven's "Egmont" Overture, the poet and composer E.T.A. Hoffmann recognized a "magnificent tone painting" because, "as in a magic mirror," it summarized "the main features of the entire play." The introduction to the music for Goethe's tragedy, composed in 1810 and praising courage in the fight for freedom, is considered a masterful program overture.
