The Symphony No. 3 in D minor by Gustav Mahler was written in sketch beginning in 1893, composed primarily in 1895, [1] and took final form in 1896.

Gustav Mahler photographed by Moritz Nähr in 1907.. The musical compositions of Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) are almost exclusively in the genres of song and symphony. In his juvenile years he attempted to write opera and instrumental works; all that survives musically from those times is a single movement from a piano quartet from around 1876–78. [1]

As in the case of Symphony No. 2, this is not always observed nowadays.
There are many recordings of Mahler's 4th.. Gustav Mahler photographed by Moritz Nähr in 1907. David S. Gutman reviewed the album in Gramophone in July 1999, comparing it with recordings of the symphony conducted by Lorin Maazel, [3] Colin Davis [4] and Claudio Abbado [5] - the latter also featuring von Stade as soloist - and with a recording of Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen that von Stade ...
