Titan Symphony (Symphony No. 1)

thumb|right|335px|Leonard Bernstein conducts the Vienna Philharmonic OrchestraThe Symphony No. 1 in D major by Gustav Mahler was mainly composed between late 1887 and March 1888, though it incorporates music Mahler had composed for previous works. It was composed while Mahler was second conductor at the Leipzig Opera, Germany. Although in his letters Mahler almost always referred to the work as a symphony, the first two performances described it as a symphonic poem or tone poem. The work was premièred at the Vigadó Concert Hall, Budapest in 1889, but was not well received. Mahler made some major revisions for the second performance, given at Hamburg in October 1893; further alterations were made in the years prior to the first publication, in late 1898. Some modern performances and recordings give the work the title Titan, despite the fact that Mahler only used this label for two early performances, and never after the work had reached its definitive four-movement form in 1896.
== Tossup Questions ==
# This symphony features an oboe melody set against a round in its fourth movement, which is cited in Adorno's Physiognomik as the first example of its composer's namesake counterpoint. The "Landler" country dance is the basis for this work's second movement, which opens with a cuckoo's song played as an interval of a fourth as opposed to the usual interval of a third. Its composer described its finale as "the cry of a wounded heart" and requested that its seven horns stand up at its end, while its Blumine movement is often omitted. Its third movement, a funeral march, is based on the themes from "Frere Jacques." Parts of the first and third movements draw from its composer's Songs of a Wayfarer. For 10 points, which D-major musical work, the first by Gustav Mahler?
# The composer of this work initially named its two divisions "A Chapter of Flowers" and "Days of Youth." The second movement of this symphony is a German Landler, and the third movement contains a dirge-like rendition of "Frere Jacques" in a funeral march. This piece was based on a literary work by Jean Paul Richter about a youth who escapes suffering, Blumine, and it was also inspired by an engraving of "The Huntsman's Funeral." The first theme of this symphony comes from the second of its composers Songs of a Wayfarer. For 10 points, name this symphony by Mahler, his first, whose nickname evokes a race of mythological beings.
# This other Mahler composition begins with an A harmonic in the strings and an offstage trumpet fanfare. Its "Blumine" movement was discarded by Mahler, and its third movement features a minor setting of "Frere Jacques".
