Pablo Massa quoting Stirling Newberry "sehr hervortretend":

>>Mahler had been, indeed, bound up in the peasant romance genre, and even
>>arranged many of the details of his life and working method around
>>it.  *But not in the 9th symphony* -
>
>I'm not sure about this.  Of course, there are no self-quotations at the
>ninth as clearly as in the first symphony.

At the end of the Ninth Symphony Mahler quotes from one of the
Kindertotenlieder.  A very significant quotation indeed.
