The Symphony No. 1 in D Major is a symphony by Gustav MAHLER first composed between 1888 and 1894. The initial premiere was in Budapest in 1889, where it was presented as a five-movement symphonic poem under the title "Symphonische Dichtung in zwei Teilen" (symphonic poem in two parts). In subsequent performances in Hamburg (1893) and Weimar (1894), the piece was titled "Titan" eine Tondichtung in Symphonie-form (a tone poem in the form of a symphony). After further revisions, MAHLER eventually dropped the title, the descriptive movement titles, and the Andante second movement, titled "Blumine." The piece "premiered" again in Berlin in 1896 as the unnumbered "Symphony in D major", with a duration of approximately 55 minutes. When the symphony first appeared in print in 1899, it received its ultimate title, "Symphony No. 1".

In its final form, the symphony has four movements:

The piece proposed here is the movement III.
