Recurrence brings intentionality:
* One discovers more than the first time
* One contemplates and deciphers the varied interpretations by conductor and orchestra
* The state of the individual listener will change through having eaten garlic or no garlic, through joy or suffering, or based on a peaceful sleep or a difficult and aggressive conversation beforehand, thus changing what is heard from a particular listen.

After listening eleven times to Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 5 in B flat Major, thus completing the first cycle of the Recurring Music Series on the genre of the symphony, we move on to the second cycle, not necessarily having finished with listening to the former.

A pupil of Anton Bruckner, a master of the symphonic concept, and a composer of particular talent and vision, was Gustav Mahler. We continue with his Symphony No. 3 in D minor.

Similar to Franz Liszt who initiated in his very own way the inclusion of poetic intention into the composed music, Mahler pursued to compose as a singing, as a music poet, absorbing his inspirational surroundings in nature, and humanity.

This resulted in him adding information to the common description or nomenclature of movements common to western classical music, by providing program notes for each concert, and piece, to guide the audience into the totality of his work. Perhaps not into the ‘totality’ but as support, enhancement, better yet seduction into the realms his music was to convey.
