Preface by Erwin Ratz 

“…we were very grateful to receive permission from Frau Helene Berg, who owns the drafts score of the first three movements of Gustav Mahler’s 9^th Symphony, and from Mahler’s daughter, Frau Anna Mahler, to publish the manuscript in facsimile. Alma Mahler, Gustav Mahler’s widow, gave the manuscript to Alban Berg in 1923, after Berg had presented her the short score of “Wozzeck” as a token of the close friendship between the Bergs and Alma Mahler.”~ Erwin Ratz

Introduction: Mahler’s Greatest Hit by Gilbert Kaplan

“ More musical material tracking Mahler’s composing is available for “Ich bin der Welt” than for any of his other songs. In this facsimile edition, we reproduce it all: the autograph manuscripts of the orchestra and piano versions, along with three stages of sketching and the surviving pages from the orchestra version that Mahler’s wife, Alma, copied for the printer (Stichvorlage).”~ Gilbert Kaplan
