Sinfonie Nr. 2 in c‑moll is the second symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1894 and first performed in 1895. The work is scored for large orchestra and chorus and traverses a wide emotional and sonic range, moving from solemn orchestral passages to expansive choral conclusions that explore themes of death and resurrection and represents a pivotal development in Mahler's orchestral writing and in late‑Romantic symphonic practice.
