The Symphony No. 5 by Gustav Mahler was composed in 1901 and 1902, mostly during the summer months at Mahler's holiday cottage at Maiernigg. Among its most distinctive features are the trumpet solo that opens the work with a rhythmic motif similar to the opening of Ludwig van Beethoven 's Symphony No. 5 , the horn solos in the third movement ...
- Trauermarsch. (Funeral march.) A solo trumpet intones a fanfare, likely based on the Austro-Hungarian army’s “Generalmarsch.” The orchestra answers with a huge A-major chord, then quickly shifts to the minor, sputtering out figures based on the triplets heard in the trumpet’s fanfare (and echoing Beethoven’s motive from his fifth symphony).
- Stürmisch bewegt, mit grösster Vehemenz (Stormy, played with great vehemence) As the tempo marking indicates, the opening is ferocious, woodwinds shrieking over the strings playing triple-forte, violins told to play “as vehement as possible!”
- Scherzo (Kräftig, nicht zu schnell – Strongly, not too fast) This was the first movement composed, and in a conversation with Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Mahler described it “kneaded through and through till not a grain of the mixture remains unmixed and unchanged.

- Scherzo. Kräftig, nicht zu schnell. D major. Horn solo. As second part of the symphony follows the above mentioned third movement, the Scherzo.
- Adagietto. Sehr langsam. F major. Willem Mengelberg (1871-1951) wrote notes on "Spitzentechnik" on the front cover of the score of symphony no. 5, a technique for the strings, writes Mengelberg, which must be used in all symphonys of Gustav Mahler, and of which it is important that all strings do this.
The fifth is the first of Mahler's symphonies in which he let go of a programmatic approach - so rather than dictating what the music should mean to us by providing some sort of narrative, the music suggests a kind of inner personal drama.
The Fifth Symphony occupies a pivotal place in Mahler’s endlessly fascinating output. It was his first purely instrumental symphony since the First, which he had worked on during the 1880s and subjected to heavy revision in 1893.
