Universal Edition, the work's publishers have an online ad which describes this work as leaning more towards the symphonic than Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, on which they believe it to have been based. Zemlinsky wrote at least two acknowledged and performed symphonies in the 1890s. He also taught Alma Schindler, who became Mahler's wife. Both works use translations of Oriental poetry as texts, though from very different societies and centuries. In what way does Zemlinsky enable us to hear this "Symphony" symphonically?Delahays (talk) 14:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
