"Withdrawn" programmes really only apply really to Symphonies 1,2,3.  There
are elements in some of the others but less so.  But too much is made of
this since any "withdrawl" was pretty unsuccessful and most CD liner notes
worth their salt carry them.  I make mention of the programmatic elements
in my Mahler recordings survey:
