Mahler Das Lied von der Erde Von der Jugend

Published: March 22, 2021, 5 p.m.

The third movement is the most obviously pentatonic and faux-Asian. The form is ternary, the third part being a greatly abbreviated revision of the first. It is also the shortest of the six movements, and can be considered a first scherzo. First this movement was called \u2018Der Pavillon aus Porzellan\u2019 (\u2018The pavilion made of porcelain\u2019).
