This movement was originally the 2nd movement of the first symphony, but was but discarded by Mahler in his 1896
revision because the composer felt that the movement was "insufficiently symphonic" and "too sentimental" for the
symphony. It was considered lost until it turned up as part of an autograph score of the symphony which was put up
for auction at Sotheby's in London in 1959. Benjamin Britten conducted its first independent performance at the Aldeburgh
Festival in rural England in June 1967. Though the trumpet part is marked pp, because it is a solo part, scored with
much of the important motivic material, it should be played quite expressively at a comfortable, yet quiet dynamic level.
