The poems not only comforted him, but also kindled his creativity and another investigation into life and the living of it. In 1908, Mahler read Hans BethgeвЂ™s translations of a set of poems written three thousand years before during the TвЂ™ang dynasty titled вЂњDie chinesische FlГ¶teвЂќ (The Chinese Flute) by Li Tai-Po, Mong Kao-Yen, Wang Wei, and Tchang Tsi. I stand vis-Г -vis de rienВ , and now, at the end of my life, have to learn again to walk and stand.вЂќ I have long known that I must dieвЂ¦ without trying to explain or describe something for which there are probably no words, I simply say that at a single stroke I have lost any calm and peace of mind that I have ever achieved. It is surely no hypochondriac fear of death, as you might suppose.

I speak in riddles, since you do not know what has gone on and is going on within. In this regard, he commented to Maestro Walter (who conducted the premiere on November 20, 1911, six months after his death), вЂњIf I am to find my way back to myself, I have got to accept the horrors of loneliness. And he decided to react to that realization. Although he had confronted death before in his music, at this point death was no longer an abstract concept but imminent. Not only the heart diagnosis, but also the death of his daughter Maria from diphtheria and his dismissal from the Vienna Opera fueled his despair.

Mahler was afraid of this diagnosis, and thought often about his mortality during these final years. I have been granted a time that was good, and I think it is the most personal thing I have done so far.вЂќ It was completed one year after his diagnosis of congenital heart disease (1907), and three years before his death in 1911. On September 1, 1908, he wrote to the conductor, вЂњI have been hard at workвЂ¦I do not know what the whole thing could be called.

Das Lied von der Erde (Song of the Earth)В was one of MahlerвЂ™s last completed works, and he explained to Bruno Walter, it occupied a very special place in his oeuvre.
