Mahler, Piano quartet in A minor (Pt 2 of 2)

Second video in my two part series of the obscure Mahler Piano quartet in A-minor. Only the first movement of this piece exists, and is often refered to when performed in concert (perhaps alongside other short Mahler pieces) as "Piano quartet movement in A-minor" According to Wikipedia, Mahler wrote this piece when he was around the age of 16-17, which is why I chose this photo of young Mahler. This piece was a little long, and so to fit YouTube's ten minute video rule, I cut it into two parts. the first video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIekvye53gg

apologize, but I have no idea as to the performers or recording label. please enjoy.

Thank God for Martin Scorcese or I never would have known this brilliant troubling piece ever existed

I dont know if anyone agrees but I think he got a little more happy in the second part.

@mahler151 I agree with you. It's not even necessarily the ending, it's just where he stopped. Much more intimate, I think.

the ending of this piece makes me think there is more! ahhh and it screws with my head making a piece thats unfinished just like the movie inception. We can never know the ending. Maybe it was mahlers idea to to let our imagination fill in the ending :) classical music does improve spacial-temporal memorization.

Thanks for sharing. I've never heard this extraordinary work before Shutter Island, although I know a little of Mahler's work. Always learning.
