Conductor, composer, and writer Bruno Walter (1876 1962) worked closely with Gustav Mahler as the composer's assistant and protégé. His revealing recollections of Mahler were written in 1936, marking the twenty-fifthanniversary of the composer's death.

This edition of his tribute to his friend and mentor features supplemental materials that include a biographical sketch of Mahler as man and artist by Ernst Krenek, the composer's son-in-law and musical heir, and a newIntroduction by Erik Ryding, author of Bruno Walter: A World Elsewhere.Reprint of Greystone Press, Inc., New York, 1941 edition.
