Mahler Symphony No. 3 - 3rd Movement - Listening Guide
b'
The third movement, a scherzo, with alternating sections in 2/4 and 6/8 metre, quotes extensively from Mahler\\u2019s early song \\u201cAbl\\xf6sung im Sommer\\u201d (Relief in Summer). In the trio section, a complete mood changes from playful to contemplative occurs with an offstage posthorn Bb (or flugelhorn Bb) solo. The reprise of the scherzo music is unusual, as it is interrupted several times by the posthorn melody. See The Post restaurant.
