Abstract

The present work explores the relationship of the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno withthe production of the composer and conductor Gustav Mahler, at the crossroads betweenmusic, tradition and evolution. Some of Adorno’s ideas and quotes will be taken from hiswriting «Mahler. A musical physiognomy», included in the book Monographs Musicals(2008), and others of Philosophy of the New Music (2003), regarding the comparisonbetween Arnold Schönberg and Igor Stravinsky. From this, a comment will be made tocontribute and expand other facets from the aesthetic and musical analysis of Mahler.
