Mahler's heavenly retreats

Keith James Clarke, the architect who also has a passion for the music of Mahler used "archive photographs and measured surveys to create a set of architectural drawings that uniquely describe key buildings and the sites they occupy where Mahler composed. Crucially, the drawings recreate the environment Mahler knew during his day - not as it is today. With the aid of these drawings I use my expert knowledge of the notion of 'place' - the morphology of sites and my understanding of space - to evaluate key places in Mahler's life, the reasons for their importance and their associations with his music. In this book, a series of architectural, philosophical, environmental, aural, contextual, experiential, aesthetic and practical considerations reveal the roots of Mahler's inspiration."--Back cover.
