Abstract

A comparative analysis of the first movements of Bruckner’s Ninth and Mahler’s First Symphonies relying on the cross-fertilization of Kurth’s ‘energetic’ and Adorno’s ‘material’ theory of form shows how the compositional strategies of the two composers are related. The new structural function of highpoints identified in late Bruckner was in fact basically continued by Mahler.
