1 Vestiges of sonata form can still be observed in this movement, which has also been analysed as a double variation.

2 Compare Fischer’s melodic turns with the slower ones performed by Mitropoulos with the Vienna Philharmonic (1960, live) or Sinopoli with the Staatskapelle Dresden (1997, live). Ančerl’s turns are slower, too, but he keeps the marked accents on each note, like Fischer.

3 On Bernstein’s reading of the beginning of the Ninth as an allusion to Mahler’s cardiac issues, see Six Talks at Harvard (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1976): 317.
