Symphonie No. 9 D-Dur

Symphony No. 9 in D major is the ninth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1910 and first performed in 1912. The work employs late-Romantic orchestration with expansive movements that juxtapose lyrical passages, dissonant harmonies and moments of stark introspection, and it is Mahler's final completed symphony, reflecting his preoccupation with mortality and closing a significant phase of his orchestral output.
