Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1914) (Wiki article)
A List of Mahler's Compositions
Although Mahler wrote and pieces of chamber music before the age of 20, his output
after that consisted only of lieder (art songs) for voice and piano, lieder for voice and
orchestra, and nine symphonies.
What is called Mahler's 'early period' ranges from 1876 - 1887 (ages 16 - 27). Then the
