@jezmuff that isn't always the case. have you ever tried playing timpani in a college or high school orchestra? Their center of pitch moves quite a bit in a performance-the timpanist is constantly adjusting, sometimes while the group is playing in an entirely different key.

@LMJ314142 Well it must be weird being a percussionist. Because you're constantly surrounded by real musicians playing real instruments with some actual talent and knowledge of music. But all you can do is hit things that are already pitched for you. And even then that's only occasionally. It must be a tough life.

The sheer terror and anticipation created by the battery of percussion as they crescendo into something --the uncompromising and brutal statement of the triadic motive, F-Ab-C-- is a precocious harbinger of Mahler's ability to inspire a face-to-face encounter with death's sublimity. . . the horror of mortality takes on a larger-than-life quality that is almost "caricature"-like; to transform a cliche --an arpeggiated triad-- into an object of psychological terror is where Mahler is unrivaled.
