Apologies for the cross posting. I'm sure I've read about a reduction of
Mahler 4 for a chamber ensemble, possibly by Schoenberg? Does anyone know
of such an arrangement and if so who publishes it? I though I might have
read about it in the IHS's magazine (bought several old copies a year or
so ago) but could be wrong - I seem to recall there was a review of a recor=
ding made by a Boston based group - but my memory is not what it once was so

Hello Simon,
Here at University of Central Arkansas we concoct a complete series of concerts
which creatively use faculty collaboration. (Such assonance!) Of the pieces
you'd be interested in knowing about, we have played a number of great
post-Romantic transcriptions; we call them "Smahler Mahler" and "Baby Bruckner"
concerts. Apparently there are a number of these works floating around.
We have so far performed:
Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (Schoenberg) - about 12 parts, including one horn
as the only brass
Mahler: Symphony Nr. 4 (Schoenberg's student) - two pianos, four hands
Bruckner: Symphony Nr. 7 (Schoenberg's student) - again, uses about a dozen
people, one horn.
Bruckner: Symphony Nr. 8 (Norman Boehm) uses above ensemble with added trumpet
I don't believe that Mahler's fourth has an instrumental reduction other than
the piano version. the only recording I remember listening to was done by a
Scandinavian group, I thought - Ostrobothnian, maybe? If you have any interest
in these works, feel free to email me privately, and I can get more information
about them.
