@danielhoganmusic Actually, there are not supposed to be cymbals, just a tam tam blow. They do play the tam tam here but it's subdued, more as a cushion for the hammer, rather than letting it stand out.
@melwiv@EDGJZConglomerate however, notwithstanding the efforts of Mahler's hero to move ahead, this symphony does end with his defeat.... he was too depressive at that time...
That basstrombone after The Hammer is the most bad-ass ever!

There's so much that is positive in this movement. There's also an existential horror. That's life - and no one expressed it better than Mahler.
