Wendell, "Lied" not "Leid". Lied means song, hymn, story, air, but Leid means suffering. So the title is often changed to "Das Lied ohne Ende" instead "Das von der Erde". "Lied ohne Ende" means "Song without an End". So a typo gives some nice ironic touch. ==

1. Don't leave your horn in an unattended auto. 2. Don't leave your horn unattended when in a public place. 3. Don't sit your horn on a chair (during a rehearsal or concert break). Treat these rules like firmware to the brain. Prevent theft of your horn. Prevent your horn from being knocked off

They were never much in fond of Mahlers music as they suffered when Mahler was the excentric director of the Vienna Opera.
